Relatve Vaccine Efficacy vs. Absolute Vaccine Efficacy ... Which One Matters In The Real World?

According to Dr. Ron Brown, with the University of Waterloo, Ont. Canada, despite the fact that the FDA says that the Absolute Vaccine Efficacy should also be reported to the public, Big Pharma ignores this suggestion by only publishing the Relative Efficacy of their Vaccines.  After following the simple mathematics below you will understand why Big Pharma prefers not to mention the Absolute Efficacy of their Vaccines.

Dr. Ron Brown explains in a video by 'TrialSite News Podcast' the difference between the Absolute and Relative Efficacy of Vaccines.  Unfortunately, he makes reference to some figures, which are not shown in the video.  While Dr. Brown takes great pain to be clear, a view of the figures he refers to would have been very helpful.

Not to worry, I have taken the time to interpret this portion of his talk, to make it clearer, since many of us are visual creatures.

Definitions:

An infection is an 'Event'

EER = Experimental Event Rate (the group receiving the vaccine).

CER = Control Event Rate (the group receiving the Placebo).

ARR = Absolute Risk Reduction (a real world number)

RRR = Relative Risk Reduction (a number to compare one study to another, or others)

To compare ARR to RRR, shown under definitions above, let us calculate the theoretical example from Dr. Brown's talk.

Here 200 volunteers got split into 2 groups of 100 each; group EER got the vaccine, while group CER got the placebo.

At the end of the trial, the Vaccine Group experienced one Event (1 infection in 100, or 1%), while the Placebo Group experienced two Events (2 infections in 100, or 2%).

First let us calculate the ARR, the Absolute Risk Reduction, as follows.

ARR = CER - EER

   = 2% - 1%

  = 1%        

Therefore, the Absolute Risk Reduction is 1% 

This result is the real world 'Efficacy' of this vaccine; this is the number Doctors, Patients and Government Agencies should work with.

Next we will calculate the RRR, Relative Risk Reduction, as follows.

RRR = EER/CER

  =1%/2%

          =  0.5, or 50%

 Therefore, the Relative Risk Reduction is 50%

By reporting the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) result, without showing also the Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) result, they turned a 1% risk reduction into a perceived 50 % reduction, by failing to explain their spin.

As hinted at before above, the Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) number is a tool that researchers use to compare studies, and has little meaning in the real world of medicine, where the Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) is the number of interest.  While a 1% Absolute Risk Reduction is not a sexy as a 50% Relative Risk Reduction, the 1% represents reality, while the 50% does not.

Conclusion: We, the public, Doctors, and many Officials have no idea what the Absolute Risk Reductions are for these current vaccines, however, we know now for sure, they are not Efficacious in the range of 94% or 95%, whatever it is claimed, far from it.  Our example showed an exaggeration by a factor of 50 times more or less is possible.

The video also shows that according to Dr. Brown, Dr. Fauci exaggerated the danger of Covid-19 by a factor of 10, based not on facts but on a desire to panic the people.  It is not a far reach to think that panic among the population is good for the vaccine business.

Please read the comments to learn about the real Absolute Risk Reduction of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines which ranges between 0.7% and 1.1%, depending on which vaccine you received.

"The FLCCC Alliance – On a Mission to Save Thousands & Slow the Pandemic (A brief self-introduction; Jan 19, 2021)

The FLCCC Alliance was organized in March, 2020 by a group of highly published, world renowned Critical Care physician/scholars – with the academic support of allied physicians from around the world – to research and develop lifesaving protocols for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 in all stages of illness. Their MATH+ Hospital Treatment Protocol – introduced in March, 2020, has saved tens of thousands of patients who were critically ill with COVID-19. Now, the FLCCC’s new I-Mask+ Prophylaxis and Early At-Home Outpatient Treatment Protocol with ivermectin has been released – and is a potential solution to the global pandemic."

"We are dedicated to

• Reviewing all emerging published medical literature on COVID-19 from in-vitro, animal, clinical, and epidemiologic studies.
• Developing effective treatment protocols for COVID-19 that evolve by incorporating newly identified, applicable therapeutic and pathophysiologic insights.
• Educating physicians on safe and effective treatment approaches to all phases of COVID-19, from disease prevention strategies to the use of our combination-based therapy protocols in both early-stage (I-MASK+) and hospitalized patients (MATH+).
• Improving outcomes for people impacted by COVID-19 disorders through preventive and treatment strate­gies designed to optimize health.
• Teaching the public ways to prevent transmission of the virus and to advocate for the best possible care.
• Coordinating and accelerating the formation of research studies that will support effective prevention and therapeutic treatments for all impacted by COVID-19.

We accomplish these goals by sponsoring high quality medical education for both the public and health care providers, via the publication of scientific manuscripts, media interviews, and medical lectures for medical providers and the public."

Ivermectin 1 : Politics/Big Pharma 0 ?

I can't believe that to this day dark forces have been able to sentence people, all over the world, to death for the sake of safeguarding insane profits from Vaccines, and drugs in the making, with no guaranty or proof of effectiveness, in the future.  Ivermectin is routinely refused, by Hospitals and Doctors, to treat cases of COVID-19.  In New York, in several cases, Courts had to intervene and order the use of Ivermectin, for patients who were at death's door; each of the patients involved recovered rather quickly thereafter, once this drug was administered, as ordered by a Judge.

Thank God for Doctors and Nurses who are not afraid to save the lives of their patients.  What is still amazing that Nurses and Doctors are also at the mercy of these Villains.  I still recall, where a female doctor was begging for her life, and yet they let her die by using ineffective methods for her treatment.

We are talking here of willful crimes against humanity, and yet nothing has changed, it is business as usual.  Everybody is now afraid to speak out, for fear of losing their positions, their livelihoods.  I have seen this general fear, to speak out, in Nazi Germany, it did not end well in the end, as history has shown.  Despite the medical success of this drug, Politics/Big Pharma are still winning the war by censorship, and fear mongering.

 

Reference: US Constitution

First Amendment

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Ninth Amendment

"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."

Despite the people's rights enshrined in the Constitution, the people are now afraid for fear of retribution by those in power, whoever they might be.  Don't we also have the right to determine what is done to our bodies, along with the right to receive life-saving drugs when available, and we request their use, without the interference of bureaucrats who are bought and paid for by Big Pharma?  The same goes for our right to reject vaccines if we are not comfortable with the idea and thus avoid possible self-harm.  No Government nor any other entity shall have the right to inject us with drugs against our will.

With all these guaranteed rights, why are so many of us so afraid to utter the truth?  What kind of distorted Democracy are we willing to live under?

Sadly, some other major countries with quasi-democracies are not any better.

About real people saved by Ivermectin.

Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Alert!

 The FDA announced that six (6) cases of blood clotting have been reported thus far, and out of a sense of caution they recommended a pause in its use.  Apparently, these stroke like reactions appeared days and weeks after injection.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_cmQeEyTMQ&t=74s

"In a statement provided to Fox News, Johnson & Johnson said the "safety and well-being of people who use our products" remains the company's number one priority, and that it was aware of an "extremely rare disorder involving people with blood clots in combination with low platelets in a small number of individuals who have received our COVID-19 vaccine."

The company said that it has been "reviewing these cases with European health authorities," and that it had "made the decision to proactively delay the rollout of our vaccine in Europe." Additionally, the company said it has been working closely with medical experts and health authorities "and we strongly support the open communication of this information to healthcare professionals and the public." "

"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) together with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is recommending a pause in the rollout of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine after several instances of severe blood clots in recipients.

According to the FDA, there have been six reported cases of the rare and severe type of blood clot in over 6.8 million Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine recipients."

"In a statement posted to the agency's website, the FDA said the type of blood clot is called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, and that it was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets. All six cases involved women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred between six and 13 days post-vaccination. "

"The FDA said the pause in rollout would also "ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot.""

https://www.foxnews.com/health/fda-recommends-pause-johnson-johnson-covid-19-vaccine-blood-clot-cases

"J&J's has administered more than 6.8M COVID-19 vaccine doses"

The risk for these blood clotting cases is extremely low.

https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/fda-halts-jj-covid-19-vaccine-what-we-know

If you or someone you know has been vaccinated with the J & J vaccine recently, please do not ignore the early warning signs of becoming ill, and consult with your doctor, or visit your local health clinic without delay.

COVID-19 HYSTERIA?

Let us look at the excess death rate of Sweden, where no lock-downs  and business closures were in effect, moreover, masks and social distancing were all voluntary, and compare it to the U.S. excess death rate.

You  might ask, what is the excess death rate?  The simple method for calculating is the average death rate (from all causes for all ages) for the last five years prior to COVID-19.  Once we have this average, we can then take the current death rate (from all causes for all ages) during the Covid-19 period and subtract the prior established five-year average, which gives us the Excess Death Rate, due to the Covid-19 infections.

  https://ourworldindata.org/excess-mortality-covid

For February 2021, the graph shows that Mexico was 95% over the average (the baseline), the US was 20% over, whereas Sweden was actually 2% under the average, i.e. the COVID-19 period was no worse than the usual death rate, prior to Covid-19.  This clearly shows that all the hysteric actions imposed by local and central Governments, with the help of so-called experts, had little effect on the excess US death rate experienced, for example.

Now let us compare the US excess deaths with that of Sweden, more in detail, to show that despite the US's Draconian restrictions, they did not do as well as the country that did not try to destroy itself.  As stated above, their businesses stayed, apparently, open, and so were their schools; no demands were made regarding the circulation of people, everything regarding prevention, was voluntary.

How can one argue with the overall success of Sweden?

"Earlier in the pandemic, Sweden did not go through a strict lockdown like many other countries. Younger children continued to go to school, and businesses and restaurants stayed open at limited capacities. There was a spike in coronavirus cases and deaths, adding up to nearly 82,000 confirmed cases and more than 5,700 deaths. This death rate is among the highest in Europe for its population of about 10 million. Recently, daily deaths in Sweden have dropped down close to zero."

https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/prevention-cures/510922-the-problem-with-holding-up-sweden-as-an-example

In my opinion, Sweden let the self-limiting forces of nature play out, just like we used to do for all the previous dangerous viruses; it seems to work every-time.  Let us face it, many major countries, the US included, still don't allow drugs like Ivermectin be used to prevent hospitalizations.  Patients receive standard care, whatever this means, however, this care did not save lives that drugs like Ivermectin could have saved.

So far, in the US (and some other countries), when testing positive a person is sent home, with the usual suggested actions for Flu-like symptoms, and told, 'when you really get very sick go to a hospital'.  The correct action should be, the start of treatment with Ivermectin, or a similar effective drug, to prevent the need to visit a hospital, and likely die in the process.  The latter is the protocol in humane countries, where lives matter.  Some countries provide Ivermectin free of charge as a prophylactic, thus preventing infections in the first place.  How smart is that!

Note: The excess death rate method eliminates any bias by the medical system that may in some cases miss-classify the cause of death as COVID-19.

Finally, let me refer you back to one of my earlier posts, in which the numbers showed that in reality Covid-19 is not much worse than some of the other viruses of the past.  Hysteria did not go into overdrive, in these instances.

"Dr. Ron Brown of Waterloo University talks about his Cambridge and Medicina Paper. We discuss relative risk reduction and absolute risk reduction measures in the evaluation of clinical trial data."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkwn5I8tLmE 

The point Doctor Brown is making is that authorities, including Dr. Fauci, published both inflated and understated numbers, to suit their objectives, to ensure that the public will reach the panic level quickly, and thus become obedient subjects.

I strongly suggest watching this video, as Dr. Brown's presentation validates what others and I have been writing about, for some time now.

 

Smaller More Ethical Countries Put Major Nations To Shame

There really is no need to lose 1000, or more, lives each day; Ivermectin if used early can significantly reduce the number of daily lives lost.  Ivermectin when used as a preventative drug, 12mg every other week, will lower the number of new severe infections, according to experts.

"More Medical and Scientific Authorities Around the World Recognize Ivermectin as a Safe and Effective Prevention and Treatment for COVID-19"

 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56572452

Countries like Peru, Egypt, Argentina, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Bulgaria (OTC free), Macedonia, and Slovakia, made the wise choice of accepting Ivermectin in the fight against COVID-19.  In my previous post, the graph on Peru clearly demonstrates the success of this drug, until a new President stopped it, and infections went out-of-control again.

Here is that graph again.

Our silence on this urgent matter is deafening; we should be raising hell with our elected officials!  Instead, the vast majority looks at the number of daily deaths, sigh and proceed with their lives as usual. The first thing we must do, start a conversation with people we know and respect, and urge everyone to continue the dialog, with others they know.  Politicians react to the noise level generated; who knows some in the mainstream Media will give it visibility.  We simply cannot let our brothers and sisters die needlessly, without raising our voices.

It does not matter which country you live in, this is a global problem, please contact your elected officials, whatever their title may be, and let them know how you feel about the many unjustified deaths due to inaction, or refusal to give the green light to 'IVERMECTIN', thus preventing medical personnel from saving lives.

  What kind of people are we?

FDA SPIN: "Don't Use Veterinary Drug Ivermectin Against COVID, FDA Warns"

After reading the FDA spin, shown below, it should become obvious to anyone that the FDA, Big Pharma, and Fake News are on a major smear campaign against the lifesaving drug, IVERMECTIN.  Their Spin is so obvious that it takes no brain surgeon to figure this out.  Here are some examples.

"Don't Use Veterinary Drug Ivermectin Against COVID, FDA Warns.
The agency has received multiple reports of people who've required medical care, including hospitalization, after self-medicating with a version of the drug ivermectin intended for horses."

"Why You Should Not Use Ivermectin to Treat or Prevent COVID-19" 

"There seems to be a growing interest in a drug called ivermectin to treat humans with COVID-19. Ivermectin is often used in the U.S. to treat or prevent parasites in animals.  The FDA has received multiple reports of patients who have required medical support and been hospitalized after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses."

https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-03-09/dont-use-veterinary-drug-ivermectin-against-covid-fda-warns

Who, in his right mind, would use Horse medication?  They are hoping to plant a seed that Ivermectin is a dangerous drug.  Any drug taken in excessive doses is dangerous.

"FDA warns against using head lice drug ivermectin to treat coronavirus"

 https://www.foxnews.com/us/fda-warns-against-using-head-lice-drug-ivermectin-to-treat-coronavirus

Ivermectin is a anti-parasitic drug, it is not specifically designed for head lice; it may very well work for this application.  It is just another way to put Ivermectin  into a bad light.

"Ivermectin was identified in late 1970s and first approved for animal use in 1981. Its potential use in humans was confirmed a few years later. Subsequently, William C. Campbell and Satoshi Ōmura who discovered and developed this medication received the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine"

From the foregoing, it should be clear by now that the FDA, and others are on a massive smear campaign against the use of the previously FDA approved drug, IVERMECTIN, used primarily against Parasites, in humans; it is also used for animals for this purpose.  Scientific studies are now available, showing that this FDA approved drug also works great against COVID-19, and herein lies the problem.  Ivermectin came to market over 30 years ago, and is relatively inexpensive, and to add insult to injury, it has proven to be very safe, over these many years.  Accepting this repurposed drug, by FDA, would interfere with Big Pharma's plans to make a killing with their half-backed vaccines.  Who knows, maybe these vaccines need to have a booster every six months, or year, from here to eternity?  Imagine the business opportunity!

Along comes the Big Pharma sponsored agency, the FDA, to ensure that the prior approved drug, for human consumption, is now suddenly black listed to protect the business interests of their benefactors, you guessed it, Big Pharma.  Suddenly, it turned into a dangerous drug, according to the FDA, thus ensuring the money making opportunities continue.
To be clear, the FDA cannot be called an unbiased organization, since about 75% of it operating budget comes from the Pharmaceutical Industry, who no doubt have great leverage.

Their first assault was their refusal to recommend any lifesaving  drug, from the very start of the Pandemic; their initial excuse was, insufficient data from properly designed studies.  Now, that there is a growing number of properly executed and analyzed studies, for Ivermectin, the FDA is still not recommending this drug, and actually advice against its use, even though they admit that they have not reviewed the available studies.
"While some initial research into the use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients is underway, the FDA has not reviewed data to support use of ivermectin in COVID-19 patients to treat or to prevent COVID-19."

https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2021-03-09/dont-use-veterinary-drug-ivermectin-against-covid-fda-warns#:~:text=While%20some%20initial%20research%20into%20the%20use%20of,COVID-19%20patients%20to%20treat%20or%20to%20prevent%20

By refusing to review valid data supplied to them, the FDA autocratically dictates to doctors not to prescribe Ivermectin, and that without justification; all to protect Big Pharma's revenue stream.

Powerful sources, at work, ensure that these available scientific studies on Ivermectin, even peer reviewed ones, do not see the light of day; these are simply not published.  Big Pharma/Big Money is in total control.  These organizations think that we, the people, are stupid; the sad fact is, we are and that is why this fraud continues.

A number of countries where Ivermectin is widely used show that their infection and death rates are much lower than that of the U.S.  In Peru we see a clear example of politics , in support of GREED, endangering (killing) people.  The graph below shows a fantastic downward trend in excess deaths while Ivermectin was used, then came a new President who restricted the use of this lifesaving drug, not unlike the U.S., and the favorable trend was dramatically reversed.

 

 To refresh your memory regarding Ivermectin refer back to my earlier post.

UK BIRD Panel Sends Ivermectin Recommendation To World Health Organization

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVUT78bzzKk

The current world population stands at 7.9 Billion; the U.S. has 331 Million, and it takes a very long time to vaccinate everyone in that country.  It is reported that about 16% out of 331 Million have been fully vaccinated, so far.  One can well imagine that the effort to vaccinate the entire world population will be years away into the future.  In light of this, is is paramount that we employ Ivermectin, as well as other new drugs, if and when verified, to stem the tide of new severe infections.

I am hoping that soon all global health organizations will endorse Ivermectin for use.

 

 

 

 

The FDA Has Not Approved Or Authorized The Use Of 'Ivermectin' For The Treatment Or Prevention Of COVID-19

I received the following message from my Doctor's office, after I requested a Prescription for 'Ivermectin', to be used in connection with COVID-19 prevention.

"The FDA has not approved or authorized the use of 'Ivermectin' for the treatment or prevention of COVID-19."

This is why the U.S. lost over 500,000 people, so far,  many needlessly.  We must consider the fact that Big Pharma provides a very big junk (75%) of the FDA's operating budget, and the FDA, obviously, does not want to bite the hand that feeds them.  Approving such an effective drug would interfere with their benefactor's fantastic prospects of making real money with their half-backed vaccines.  Moreover, it would bring COVID-19, sooner and less expensive, under control.  Both of these prospects are unacceptable, as far as the Vaccine business outlook is concerned.

Other countries knowing, and appreciating the real value of this drug have officially approved it for nationwide use with COVID-19 issues; their drug agencies, are obviously less corrupted by money.  Mass murder is no longer unacceptable, it appears, in the service of greed.  All the people who died for lack of proper treatments, are considered collateral damage on the way to grab more billions of taxpayer money.

The vast majority of Doctors of today are beholden to their employers, the Medical Industrial Complex; the are now afraid to do what is right and proper.  The FDA is now their crutch; they must find it hard to sleep at night; a few of them refuse  to violate their 'Hippocratic Oath'.  By withholding lifesaving medication, they majority definitely are doing harm.  The Hippocratic Oath boils down to 'Do No Harm'.

In defense of Doctors, one must consider the highly litigious society we nowadays live in; should a doctor prescribe outside of the self-serving dictates by the FDA (defender of Big Pharma), and a medical situation arises, lawyers surely will become involved; it could be a career killer.

The following snapshot of the COVID-19 status, of my previously selected countries.

Click the Graph to enlarge it.

It must be noted that not all data reporting is fair and honest (e.g China, etc), and thus not factual.

Now, let us look at the percentage death rate.  For example, the U. S. death rate is, currently, at 1.8%, whereas, the death rate of Turkey is only 0.7%.  One might ask why is this so?  The answer is very simple, in the U.S. the FDA dictates what a doctor can and cannot use, in the treatment of his patient.  For example, the use of Ivermectin is not approved for COVID-19 cases.  Whereas, in Turkey Ivermectin is the first drug of use.

When I was in Turkey last year (October 2020), the Hotel Manager became infected with the virus, and became very sick.  Her doctor did not adopt a wait and see attitude but immediately put her on Ivermectin, Zinc and Doxycycline, for one week.  After the first week she started to feel better, and after an additional 10 days of rest, she was back at work.  By this protocol, Turkey's doctors keep many patients out of the hospital, where people will fight for their lives, and often lose the battle.

If infected, where would you rather be?

"The Revised Hippocratic Oath

"I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this covenant: I will respect the hard-won scientific gains of those physicians in whose steps I walk, and gladly share such knowledge as is mine with those who are to follow. I will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism. I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug. I will not be ashamed to say "I know not," nor will I fail to call in my colleagues when the skills of another are needed for a patient's recovery. I will respect the privacy of my patients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. If it is given me to save a life, all thanks. But it may also be within my power to take a life; this awesome responsibility must be faced with great humbleness and awareness of my own frailty. Above all, I must not play at God. I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick. I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm. If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter. May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help."

Thus, the classical Oath of Hippocratic involves the triad of the physician the patient and God, while the revised version involves only the physician and the patient, reliving the Gods of a few responsibilities."

Ivermectin Works And Saves Lives
