COVID vaccine safety. Negative efficacy

We reported earlier on data that indicates that COVID vaccine effectiveness rapidly wanes to 0% and even enters negative territory, meaning that one is more likely to contract COVID-19 if vaccinated.

In light of the rent Omicron outbreak, several countries are seeing increased rates of COVID-19 amongst vaccinated people, as opposed to unvaccinated people. For example, Scotland’s major news outlet The Herald states: “case rates have been lower in unvaccinated individuals than the single, double, or even triple-jabbed since Omicron became the dominant variant in Scotland”. Source.

Similarly, in Iceland’s popular news outlet Morgunblaðið: “We know the protection against infection from vaccination wanes rapidly, but it is out of the question that it should drop so suddenly. The most likely explanation is the new omicron variant. Foreign data also indicate that the currently available vaccines have little or no effect against omicron-infection… double-vaccinated people are now 90% more likely to get infected than the unvaccinated. This suggests that the protection provided by two doses of vaccine is in fact less than none, it is the opposite… If this development continues, it can be expected that very soon the low level of protection afforded by triple vaccination will be completely gone – the boostered will be just as likely to be infected as the unvaccinated, and the same goes for vaccinated children. It is surprising that this massive change in the incidence of infection has not yet found its way into the media, and no less that such a drastic changes seems to have no effect on government policies, neither the misguided plan for vaccinating healthy children who are at a very low risk from the virus, nor plans for discrimination against people based on the number of vaccine doses they have received.” Source (translation).

Okay then.

Note: A little extra for the inquisitive. If the COVID-19 vaccines increase one’s chance of acquiring COVID-19, how is this to be weighed up against the common claim that ‘at least the vaccine lessens symptoms’? And could this alone render the vaccination program futile, even before factoring in the other potential risks of COVID-19 vaccination?
