The latest Vaccine Surveillance report from the UKHSA shows a sharp drop in unadjusted vaccine effectiveness against infection (calculated from the raw infection rate data) in 18-29 year-olds, down to minus-75% in the month ending December 19th, from minus-10% the previous week.
Unadjusted vaccine effectiveness fell in all age groups this week, particularly sharply in 30-39 year-olds, where it hit minus-98%. In 40-49 year-olds it fell to minus-131%. Negative vaccine effectiveness means the vaccinated are more likely to be infected than the unvaccinated. A vaccine effectiveness of minus-100% means the vaccinated are twice as likely to be infected as the unvaccinated.
With Omicron infections particularly prevalent in the young and the vaccinated, this drop is likely to be the impact of Omicron, combined with a waning of vaccine efficacy. The high relative rates of infection in the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated undermine any argument for vaccine passports or mandates that depend on the idea that the vaccinated are less likely to be infected or pass on the virus. If anything, it’s the vaccinated who are a higher transmission risk to the unvaccinated rather than vice-versa.
Unadjusted vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation and death continues to hold at a high level on this data, and has even increased in recent weeks in line with what is presumably a booster effect – though a drop in vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation in 18-29 year-olds this week may portend a coming shift.

What..? No BMW..?
It’s highly probable that she will get her natural afro back while she’s inside and even better news she has a criminal record. Both credentials should enhance her standing amongst the BLM fraternity.
A BLM grifter cheats BLM supporters and ends up in gaol. It’s win-win!
And what about the rest of them? And what about those that desecrated the Cenotaph?

Is this the start of the collapse?
Riksbank needs a bailout of $7 billion? There are a few philanthropaths and pharmapaths out there for whom this is little more than pocket money.
The statue should have been put back up. Spineless authorities capitulating to the false virtue signalling mob isn’t turning out well. Mostly peaceful they are not and theft too. Build large mansions is their new name.
Lunatic morons, or little marxists would be other good names for them.
So she forgot to say she was in the wrong lefty group. Instead of BLM she meant to say MBM (My bank account matters)
Her real name (Yvonne Mainer) obviously wasn’t ‘edgy’ and ‘right on’ enough for her.
In her mind, some black lives obviously matter far more than others.
Just another Prize Pig who is “more equal” than the other ones who support BLM.
