... " ... a new study from Sweden has appeared that brings tidings from the other reality – the one where high observed levels of spread among the vaccinated translate to a decline to zero vaccine efficacy within months.
The study (a Lancet pre-print) finds that Pfizer vaccine effectiveness wanes from 92% at day 15-30
to 47% at day 121-180, and
from day 211 (seven months)
and onwards “no effectiveness
could be detected”.
For AstraZeneca, vaccine effectiveness “was generally lower and waned faster, with no effectiveness detected from day 121 [four months] and onwards”. (The figure they found was actually negative, minus-19%.)
While effectiveness against severe outcomes held up for many groups over nine months, it was found to wane significantly among men, older frail people, and people with comorbidities,
contributing to an overall fall from 89% at day 15-30 to 42% from day 181 (six months) and onwards, with a number of subgroups even showing negative efficacy against severe outcomes.
The graphs included in the paper (showed) negative effectiveness against infection at nine months ... and the effectiveness against severe outcomes down to around 20% at eight months ... .
The confirmation here of vaccine effectiveness against infection declining to zero will not come as a surprise to readers of the Daily Sceptic,
though it may baffle readers of the New Scientist and others living in the parallel reality of highly effective vaccines.
The sharp waning against severe disease is more of a surprise given recent data from PHE/UKHSA, and is worth watching closely.
