IN BRIEF
- The Facts:A new study outlines how a rushed covid vaccine could make the pandemic worse.
- Reflect On:Do all of our vaccines go through appropriate safety testing? Why are they a liability free product? Why are so many concerns being raised by so many scientists completely ignored by mainstream media, but a rushed coronavirus vaccine isn’t?
What Happened: A paper recently published in The Lancet titled “Covid-19 vaccine trials should seek worthwhile efficacy” states the following:
Deployment of a weakly effective vaccine could actually worsen the COVID-19 pandemic if authorities wrongly assume it causes a substantial reduction in risk, or if vaccinated individuals wrongly believe they are immune, hence reducing implementation of, or compliance with, other COVID-19 control measures. Deployment of a marginally effective vaccine could also interfere with the evaluation of other vaccines, as subsequent vaccines would then have to be compared with it rather than with a placebo.
