ok so 2 people died who got the vaccine, and 4 people died who got placebo.

But we don't know how many people were in the trial. Does anybody have the actual report about the results instead of these annoying news stories?

43,448 people in the trial. Here's the report: https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download#page31

Follow up period was 2 months. It's not unreasonable to me that 6 of ~40,000 people might die for unrelated reasons over the course of 2 months, and the difference between the control and treatment groups show no statistical significance.

Yeah, there is a reason that the FDA mandates years of trails.

at BEST the longest trial dose is maybe 5 months old.

Normal trials are 5 years.

They have been spoon fed so much anti-anti-vax propaganda that they believe vaccines are made of Holy Water and human beings will spontaneously explode in boils if they don't get them regularly and as often as they are told.

And that was before covid1984 came along.

Yeah, super short follow up period. I'm less worried about that, but I'm not a risk averse person generally. That also means though I'm fine to just get covid too lol. Don't care.

How do we actually know they got the placebo? Are they just saying that now?

I used to believe that there were strict laws about these things. And that if people didn’t follow those rules they would go to jail.

But now we are seeing that there is no one to enforce these laws. The FBI & DOJ don’t do shit. The police are the only ones that actual enforce the laws.

I think this is it.

Nice to see they actually used a placebo (saline, though it took a bit to find it) instead of a different vaccine for the control group.

Holy shit. This might be the first placebo trial ever done on a vaccine.
