New York, Nov 18 (IANS): Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech released a second batch of interim results on Wednesday, saying their coronavirus vaccine candidate is 95 per cent effective and also protects the most vulnerable people in older age groups from the risk of falling prey to the virus.

"Primary efficacy analysis demonstrates BNT162b2 to be 95 per cent effective against Covid-19 beginning 28 days after the first dose; 170 confirmed cases of Covid-19 were evaluated, with 162 observed in the placebo group versus 8 in the vaccine group," the company said.

The latest announcement comes a little over a week after Pfizer's first bombshell announcement on November 9 that its vaccine was 90 per cent effective. The first results were based on less than 100 infections drawn from a pool of more than 43,000 volunteers.

The company now has 170 infections on which its data are based. Only eight infections were recorded among volunteers who got the vaccine, while only one got severe disease.

Pfizer-BioNTech use the 'mRNA' technology which means the vaccine is not embedded with the virus itself and there is, therefore, no risk of catching Covid-19 from the shot. The vaccine is infused with a piece of genetic code that trains our immune system to recognise the spike protein on the surface of the virus - a lethal signature of coronavirus.

    Fast track approval of a vaccine is fraught with high risks!
    If vaccines have traditionally taken up to a decade to win approval, people wonder how can we trust the safety of one produced in a small fraction of the time.
    Read the history of Moderna, a company which has no previous experience of developing vaccines, sounds spine chilling!

    this is non-issue as far a India is concerned... storing the vaccine at -70 degree temperature is impossible....

    As far as India is concerned, there is no vaccine for covid... US, Canada may be able to take benefit of Pfizer vaccine... in dec 2020

    Is this accurate??? Cost: 45 UK Pounds, 60 USD. = 4000 + rs??? Needs to be kept at -70 Centigrade. The Oxford vaccine will be more practical, and cheaper ... less than 450 rs ???, and storage at - 8 degrees???

    I went through the whole video.
    It is very scary that we will become robots under "one world order" authority, which is 666.
    This is what many highly elites like Bill Gates, George Sorros, China Xi and One special so called Religious Person involved.
    They want to reduce the population to just 30% of the present level, from 7 Billion to 2 Billion.
    This was predicted land was planned longtime back.

    These communists are so evil to control the world they would do anything..

    Jesus on emerging viruses and how to build up immune system in a message to John Leary dated Monday, August 4, 2014
    ...
    Jesus said: “My people, I have talked about a deadly pandemic virus that would be purposely spread among the people to reduce the population. This concept of reducing the population is a plan of Satan, who hates man, and he has the one world people carrying this out because they worship Satan. This statement about reducing the population is also in the Georgia Guide stones, which is part of their ten commandments that contradict My Commandments. For those who want to learn more about AIDS and ebola as laboratory creations, there is a book called ‘Emerging viruses, AIDS and ebola’ by Dr. Leonard Horowitz. This book shows you all the background for how these viruses were made and distributed. When the swine flu became pandemic, these evil ones behind it, tried to force everyone to have a flu shot which actually impairs your immune system. This same scare with ebola, will precipitate the same mandatory flu shots that will again compromise your immune system. It is better to refuse these flu shots, and take Hawthorn, herbs, and vitamins to build up your immune system. If you see a contagious deadly virus that is transmitted in the air, then I will advise My faithful to come to My refuges, where you can look on My luminous cross in the sky or drink the healing spring water to heal any disease. This pandemic virus is one of the conditions to come to My refuges. Other signs are a world famine, a bank failure, a division in My Church, and mandatory chips in the body. You may even see people persecuted because they refused these flu shots. Have trust in My protection, as your lives will be in danger, when I will call all of My faithful to My refuges.”

    Has anyone studied the long term effects of an RNA vaccine? RNA vaccines have not been administered on a large scale on humans before.

    On Big Pharma achieving total legal immunity for coronavirus vaccines, following consequences excerpts from an article by Mike Adams on Naturalnews dated 2nd August 2020...

    "YOU will have to pay all the medical costs stemming from vaccine injuries

    By achieving absolute legal immunity for unsafe, rushed, experimental vaccines, the vaccine drug giants have transferred all financial risk to you, the patient.

    You will have to bear all the hospitalization costs, funeral costs and lifelong injury costs associated with their toxic vaccines. They have no liability whatsoever.

    This arrangement — essentially U.S. Congress-approved collusion between Big Pharma and rich, elite lawmakers who accept campaign contributions from the industry — is outrageous. It strips the people of due process rights while shifting cost burdens from Big Pharma to the very people who are being forcibly injected against their wishes.

    You are forced to take the shot, in other words, and then forced to pay for the injuries caused by the shot. Big Pharma gets away scot-free, pocking all the profits while facing none of the financial liability for their dangerous, untested vaccine cocktails.

    The CDC, FDA and WHO are all in on the scam, of course, as is the corporate media, medical journals and Big Tech. That’s because they all get kickbacks from Big Pharma. The money flows like water as millions of people face injuries or death from an unsafe, unproven vaccine medical experiment that clearly violates Nuremberg principles abolishing medical experiments on human beings."...

    This indeed is a GREAT RELIEF. Pfizer is a company of name and fame. I would join several others in saying KUDOS to all concerned What is good to know that the vaccine is not likely to cause any adverse reactions because it is not embedded with the virus in any way.
