Mainecat Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Pfizer, Moderna vaccines 90 percent effective in preventing coronavirus infections in U.S. Source: Washington Post The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines being deployed to fight the coronavirus pandemic are robustly effective in preventing infections in real-life conditions, according to a federal study released Monday that provides reassurance of protection for front-line workers in the United States. In a study of about 4,000 health-care personnel, police, firefighters and other essential workers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that the vaccines reduced the risk of infection by 80 percent after one shot. Protection increased to 90 percent following the second dose. The findings are consistent with clinical trial results and studies showing strong effectiveness in Israel and the United Kingdom, and in initial studies of health-care workers at the University of Texas and in southern California. The CDC report is significant, experts said, because it analyzed how well the vaccines worked among a diverse group of front-line working-age adults whose jobs make them more likely to be exposed to the virus and to spread it. The workers came from eight locations in six states — Arizona, Florida, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas and Utah. They received vaccinations between mid-December, when the doses first became available, to mid-March, a 13-week period that included the deadly winter surge that was killing more than 3,000 people a day by January. The study is also one of the first to estimate vaccine effectiveness among participants against infection — rather than just monitoring for symptomatic cases — including infections that did not result in symptoms, according to the CDC. Among 2,479 fully vaccinated people, just three had confirmed infections. Among 477 people who received one dose, eight infections were reported. By comparison, among 994 people who were not vaccinated, 161 developed infections. No deaths were reported.

racer254 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 You don't get to choose what vaccine you get. Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson and Johnson. But lets all tell everyone how good Pfizer and Moderna are. Another deceptive article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J&J results are excellent too. I posted a video weeks ago regarding the J&J vaccine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we had it back over a year ago before it was known. Currently the wife is home in isolation cause she worked near a staff who tested positive, tested negative last week and tested again yesterday and won't be able to go back til next week. Her colleague who tested positive, tested negative a few days ago and is now clear to go back but is still sick as a dog with flu like symptoms. Follow the health experts.

Not once have I heard or read where the vaccine actually works and protects you from getting it now or again. To me, it is like the flu shot. Pick a strain, inject and hope it works. A male nurse in Ontario had both shots in the allowed time yet tested positive for covid a couple weeks later and was told to isolate. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-covid-19-positive-after-vaccination-1.5884463 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can just prepare your immune system before you contact a virus to keep it from developing into an illness. does it stop you from getting the sars cov2 virus? No. Could it stop it from developing into the illness called Covid19? Possibly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
