Episode 43 - The Covid-19 Vaccine: Everything You Need To Know


Today is Wednesday, December 2, 2020… which means that in slightly over a week, the United States should have a Covid-19 vaccine available (in limited supply).

The vaccine, manufactured by Pfizer was shown to be 95% effective according to a clinical study.

But, what exactly does “95% effective” mean?

If you’re like most people, you think it means that 95% of the people who get the vaccine won’t get the Coronavirus.

Believe it or not, you’d be wrong as the results were actually better!

Let me explain:

Nearly 44,000 people participated in the study conducted by Pfizer. Half of them received the vaccine while the other half didn't.

Amazingly, 99.3% of the approximately 22,000 individuals who got the vaccine avoided getting the virus.

That’s significantly higher than the 95% you see in the headlines.

And, to add to the good news, none of the individuals in the group died from the Coronavirus.

That’s awesome!

However, there is one problem:

Those numbers weren't for the vaccine group.

They were for the NON-VACCINE group.

Huh?

Yes, 99.3% of the group that DIDN’T receive the Covid-19 vaccine did NOT get the Coronavirus.

Nor did any of them die.

So, why did Pfizer claim 95% effectiveness for the vaccine?

The answer is explained in this week's episode of the Get Healthy Alabama podcast.

One more thing:

Guess how effective the Covid-19 vaccine was shown to be for preventing deaths?

90%…. 70%… 50%… 10%????

Would you believe that the answer is ZERO!

That is, the Covid-19 vaccine showed NO effectiveness at preventing deaths from the Coronavirus.

Hear the story behind this amazing fact.
