A Pandemic of the Triple Vaccinated

Deborah Birx was the White House Covid-19 response coordinator under President Donald Trump. Jeffrey Tucker wrote a brutal takedown of her deliberate misrepresentations of science and data in order to manipulate Trump into going along with her preferred but misguided policy interventions to deal with the Covid outbreak.

Biden’s claim of a pandemic of the unvaccinated

• During a CNN Town Hall event on July 21, 2021, Biden said: "If you're vaccinated, you're not going to be hospitalized, you won't be in an ICU unit, and you will not die."
• This is based on a cult-like faith akin to self-validating and self-canceling explanations put forth by astrologers for predictions that come true and don’t, as the case may be.

NSW health facts

• In September 2021, NSW had 844 staffed ICU beds, of which 173 (20.5 percent) were occupied by Covid-19 patients. By January 2022, the number had increased to around 1,000.
• There are 9,500 general ward beds in public and another 3,000 beds in private hospitals in NSW. In mid-July 2022, there were 2,058 people in hospital with COVID-19 in NSW, or 21.7% of the public system's capacity and 16.5% of total hospital beds capacity.

Efficacy vs effectiveness

• The Cambridge Dictionary defines efficacy as "how well a particular treatment or drug works under carefully controlled scientific testing conditions."
• Effectiveness is defined as how well the treatment works when people are using it, as opposed to how well it works under controlled testing conditions.
• Evaluating the percentage of the thrice-jabbed in hospital admissions, ICU beds, and dead against the baseline of their share in the overall population, preferably age-adjusted, is critical to calculating vaccine efficacy.

Covid in NSW

• In the period for the weeks ending May 28 to July 16, 2022 in NSW, of those whose vaccination status was known, only eight unvaccinated people were among the 3,509 who required hospital admission (Figure 1).
• Of those who died, the number of Covid-related deaths was 110, with an average of 2-4 doses.
• Just the triple-vaccinated, who account for 68 percent of the population of NSW, made up 57.5 percent in hospital, 53.7% in ICU and 53.5% in the Covid dead.
• The claim that people who are not vaccinated are significantly overrepresented in hospital admissions and ICU occupancy is false.
