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.

How does that work?
Sorry, just re-read it. Get it now.
Well done.
Consider the following for a more strategic approach to improving the immune system.
An article titled “Prevention and reversal of chronic diseases: A protocol” has been published recently in Public Health and Toxicology, and is available Open Access at the following link: (http://www.publichealthtoxicology.com/Prevention-and-reversal-of-chronic-diseases-A-Protocol,144538,0,2.html). While the methodology has been tailored to three specific diseases in past studies, it is general, and can be readily tailored to any chronic disease. Equally important, based on two recent studies showing strong commonality between chronic disease contributing factors and COVID-19 contributing factors (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34485092/; https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34779496/), the methodology may be applicable to prevention of infectious diseases (including COVID-19) as well.
Negative efficacy?!
Negative?!
How is this not the biggest news story on the planet right now? What has happened to these people’s immune systems?! Will they recover?!
They always have an excuse, if you read the lengthy disclaimers they keep adding to as the data gets worse for the vaccinated. It boils down to, “we don’t know the exact number of the unvaxxed, so when the data says something bad about the vaxxed, blame the unvaxxed stats.”
Fortunately, these rolling statistics help to see trends that can’t be just down to not knowing exact numbers.
What happened is that the vaxxed are fond of testing themselves while the unvaxxed generally are not. Next question?…
Please cite your source for this assertion
This forum is the source. You can read daily opinions of how you must be a complete idiot to regularly test yourself here. Especially before Xmas. I also second this opinion personally – never had any corona test, nor do I intend to take it when I have cough (and I’ve had some cough like 20 times in the past 2 years).
Well it’s certainly true that people who post here often state they don’t get tested, and a lot of people here are not vaxxed, but we’re a tiny group and possibly not that representative. A lot of the tests are imposed by work, travel, schools and it’s not implausible to think that plenty of unvaxxed are pushed into a corner to take a test. I am afraid like all covid data, it’s not that useful. Not to me, anyway.
I’m pleased to say I’ve NEVER been tested / vaxxed for Covid. I have no intention to do either in 2022.
For anyone travelling abroad in/out of the UK, I don’t know how it’s possible to avoid being tested. You can’t do it yourself before getting on a plane – that’s not accepted.
Personally, I don’t believe these tests ‘work’ in any other sense that that they are a way of controlling people, and a method of keeping the fear going – fear of missing your plane if your ‘test’ comes out as a ‘positive’.
Everything with ‘Covid’ is designed to keep the population under control – right down to having your neighbours snitching on you, just like in East Germany.
We live on an island and I know how to sail. I’m certainly not sticking around to have my door kicked in if it comes to that. You could swim the bloody channel if you got desperate enough.
You are not alone. The rest are a dying breed.
Please research the origins of the Drosten computer model PCR test as explained by Dr Reiner Fuellmich et al. and the WHO convenient ‘redefinition’ of a “Covid Case” as a positive Drosten PCR test.
Drosten ( whose claims for higher Academic qualifications have been called into serious doubt) is the German Ferguson.
Each negative test convinces them the jab is working and they made the right decision. More tests with less time in between allows them to live more of their lives in a delusional state of falsely certified protection.
I agee with you, there are a lot of people i know who are constantly testing, i dont
I don’t have any hard data, but I suspect this is right. The unvaxxed – like the wife and I – are avoiding the system like the plague.
Those who don’t believe in the Vax don’t believe in the fake PCR test either! Why would they when the whole world knows it is a fraud constructed by fake “virologist” Drosten and the CCP.
It is amazing how HMG the MSM and the NHS can maintain the fiction that a false Covid ‘positive’ test. run at 40-45 cycles of amplification when 20-25 are the maximum producing any “result” ( not an infection) is a “case”of Covid.
What they rely on for this fiction is the WHO redefinition of a “case” as a positive Covid test – clearly now totally false.
Bill Gates bankrolls and controls the WHO.
How centralised is testing? How many companies taken together carry out 90% of the tests? Is there a monopoly over some aspect, some of the hardware or software?
I read that for a test to be licenced it is supposed to have a false negative rate of no more than 3% and a false positive rate of no more than 20%.
If actual rates approach those, and on various reasonable assumptions, then a person who is negative doesn’t have to test themselves more than a few times to get at least one false positive.
What heaven for hypochondriacs that is. Test themselves a few times and they’re bound to get a positive. Then they can lock themselves in their bathroom and convince themselves their sore throat will soon turn into a heart attack or whatever. Meanwhile many of these twats say it’s us, the unvaxxed, who are a burden on health resources. Shame on them.
Blimey.. I’ve got to agree with rayc here.. it must be the Christmas spirit..
Now, now George.
lol Merry Christmas, George!
This is what I’m seeing all the time , the vaxxed are obsessed with the testing
I agree with that, the vaxed in my family are obsessed, they’ve been racking up the tests for a couple of weeks now, probably added a few hundred to the total, they even like to talk about it and compare notes, even the younger ones.
The bias goes both ways. The unvaxxed may not be getting PCR “tested” everytime they get the sniffles. On the other hand, the bedwetters have been getting PCR tested every time they met a person who cleared their throat. I know many bedwetters who are tripple jabbed and have been off down the test centre twice a week for the last 18 months. Cumulative positives are at most one (normally within two weeks of a clotshot).
Two independent studies which ‘did things properly’ (UKHSA, figure 6 in the latest vaccine surveillance report) and Imperial College (usual suspects) both show the AZ and Moderna vaccines as making things worse, and Pfizer not far behind.
Thus it isn’t just a testing artefact — the negative VE appears to be a real risk.
I’d also note the trend in the data — the situation appears to be getting worse each week.
The trends are literally breathtaking.
Not to mention the same trend seen in Sweden (Lancet paper) and Qatar (NEJM) and Israel
Are you talking about the PDF linked to this article? Because pages 5-15 (which are explicitly referenced from the “do not use this unadjusted data” section) don’t show vaccines being ineffective or making things worse, quite the opposite.
“Will they recover?”
NO!
Their immune systems have been fcuked up by the vaccines that aren’t vaccines, but bioweapons.
Who knows, but their immune systems are almost certainly being destroyed for sinister purposes. Those behind the vaccine rollouts must know they are causing great harm, but that doesn’t seem to bother them or their paid-off lackeys in government.
More pertinently, how long will those who have avoided them so far have to hold out? Or will the pressure be on for years?
“Their immune systems are almost certainly being destroyed for sinister purposes”
So will they develop an “Acquired Immune Deficiency ( syndrome)’ …better known as AIDS?
Perhaps Dr Fauci will be on hand to ‘help’? He is, after all, very experienced in this field.
On p5 the report indicates the HSA are comparing rates of infection in the jabbed vs unjabbed. This looks like the relative (not absolute) risk reduction calculation to me, which doesn’t seem like the most useful way to assess effectiveness since there are so many variables in play at any given time. I think all it proves is that the jabs weren’t designed to prevent infection, which we already know.
No!
They will possibly develop ” immune deficiency”…which they will have ‘acquired ‘ through repeated injection with pathogenic spike proteins …so they will have a condition called “Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome”…better known as AIDS … ( ring any bells?) which means that their own now deficient immune system will probably be unable to fight off even the mildest infection without further medical intervention.
Dr Fauci of course as we know was very “engaged” with the developing of vaccines for HIV as a cause of AIDS.
The covidians prefer a strong delusion to the truth.
You’d think someone in the past would have written something about that. Like, one of the apostles…
I can grasp the leaders gaining stuff from this, but what do ‘normal’ people get from fake fear?
Not sure they are thinking of it in terms of what they gain, they have been put into a tizz by the covid advertising plus there’s an element of not wanting to speak out of turn and not wanting to admit they have been had
There’s also still an extraordinary level of apathy after two years that have damaged everybody: “Ordinary people are too busy too spend all evening watching YouTube clips.” So said a biological science graduate to me, not too busy to watch Strictly Come Dancing for the whole series.
It takes a helluva lot more energy to follow and obey the BS than to opt out. There is no intelligible reason for their reaction if they are truly apathetic.
Peer pressure. I’ve seen it in action in settings with smaller numbers, most people masked up, then they see a few people with no masks, and there’s no-one in “authority”, the masks start to drop.
As mundane as that. What a disappointment.
It’s fear of ‘social disapproval’ – being seen to do ‘the right thing’. That’s what all the face mask wearing is.
The really dense ones may wear a face mask through fear of catching ‘The Virus’.
But, anyway, this just goes round and round, doesn’t it? The questions are, what’s going to happen next, and is ‘the resistance’ ever going to get itself organised enough to stop this madness?
It’s not “just another 3 weeks” … it must be obvious by now that this is going to continue forever … the house of cards hasn’t come tumbling down … Javid is still swanning about wagging his finger at the naughty British who don’t want their jabs.
Test & Trace haven’t had their contract renewed to 2025 because the Government intends to cut it in 2023… no – there are enough variants in the hat to keep coming…
Covid compliance is like sin. Unless you repent quickly you never will, and it becomes almost impossible to give up the vice. 3 more years may not help them see the light, but ingrain the absurdity into permanence.
Three more years? Where will many be by then?
I like to believe people are rational or at least original enough to do something independent. Clearly projection.
Well they should decapitate those responsible!
Their lives are boring, it makes them feel special that they are finally part of something extraordinary, part of a great struggle, if you will.
Also, the mentality described by Heinrich Mann in “Der Untertan” (Man of Straw). There he it “wohliges Gruseln” – “comforting creeps” – kind of the same sensation that people get from hearing about macabre stories or watching horror movies, but combined with a belief that there is an authority which tells a person how to behave “right” and that the “bad” events may be avoided if only you subject yourself to that authority.
A primitive childish feeling of safety and unity achieved from delegating your freedoms and fate to your guardian/leader whenever faced with a “danger” (and this is where the “fear” element comes in, except that the real danger can be replaced by the fear of the very authority who you are supposed to trust).
To translate the gist of the information in the article: The mRNA clot-shots are compromising the immune systems of those who take them.
Amidst other serious injuries, many of the “inoculated” end up with autoimmune disease and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
Many people who have been “vaccinated” simply can’t cope with every day head colds and such like. Because their immune systems have been shot to pieces.
Nuremberg II is not just a throw-away remark anymore.
And who was the world expert on Aids and how to spill millions of $ trying to cure it through treatments which were even more dangerous than Aids. Yep, Anthony Fauci.
Uhh… unlike 30 years ago aids is a pretty much controllable disease nowadays.
You display the arrogance that is very typical of an idiot.
For your education (if it’s possible for you through your self-important arrogance to take anything onboard):
AIDS is a symptom. It is not a disease. The generally accepted disease that causes the “aids” you are referring to in your comment is HIV, which is an abbreviation for human immunodeficiency virus.
(HIV is another fictional virus which Big Pharma has made a fortune from.)
As for HIV being “pretty controllable”, it is, but to control it means the sufferer taking a concoction of drugs for their entire lives.
The AIDS symptoms that arise from the mRNA clot-shots are not caused by HIV, they are caused by … (yes, you’ve guessed it) … the clot-shots.
Perhaps you should educate yourself in future before jumping in and attempting to arrogantly belittle someone.
Thank you, my immune system. Thank you, my scepticism.
Don’t forget cynicism, which must be added to daily, lest you find that you have been insufficiently cynical.
I don’t suppose they’re going to tell us how many of the unvaccinated hospitalisations/deaths were in the “already seriously ill” category.
They have said they don’t know, when asked (I think JHB asked Hancock). Even if they don’t know exactly, I expect they have a pretty good idea, which is why we’re not given the information.
After careful consideration, close analysis of the data, listening to arguments on all sides and weighing up the risks/benefits to me, my loved ones and the wider community, I’ve decided that they can stick their toxic bullshit up their arse. Sideways. and repeatedly until they have so much negative immunity that they catch covid without even being exposed to it. Twice, breakthrough case, centred on the arse. Sideways. Twice.
As the Scottish football fans chanted:
“You can stick your fuckin booster up your arse.”
Repeat.
Sideways!
Twice.
Am not sure how far this will go, but at least it’s a start!
https://dailyexpose.uk/2021/12/10/uk-team-file-complaint-of-crimes-against-humanity-with-the-international-criminal-court/
A “vaccine” which offers no sterilising immunity and which only offers “protection” for 10 weeks. Not much of a vaccine given we’re suposedly talking about the booster which it hs been said tops up protection of the previous two jabs received in some cases 3 and 6 months previously.
From what base is it topping up protection, for whom and against what?
It is actually now likely they knew the jabs only offered very limited “protection” thereby laying the way for the requirement for multiple annual jabs, eventually profitting ome companies greatly.
Surely now the main strain has been officially described s indistinguishable from a cold, the emergency use authorisations must end s there are ample alternative treatments available at any pharmacy.
There was never an emergency
Absolutely…
That’s a pretty damning chart! Do you have a link to the particular article please?
Well Seasons Greetings one and all as I settle down to Channel 5s Xmas Eve offering:
‘Outbreak’, 1975, Dustin Hoffman, Morgan Freeman.
Hazmat suits galore, Very topical.
Don’t watch it.
You might get converted to the dark side. Lol.
(You won’t. God bless).
I prefer the Christmas story in which the Infant Jesus receives gifts of gold, frankincense and Pfizer. His mother says that the first two are welcome, but to stick the third into Herod.
That gave me a good laugh.. thanks..
Love it.
Nice one!
Sorry to be a pedant but it was 1995. I remember seeing at the cinema as a teenager! And given what we know now, was probably predictive programming.
You mean planned brainwashing?
My bad, I even checked it on IMDB
No alcohol honest!.
Mind you it might as well have been 1975 it’s so dated but, yes, prescient
I think the film Contagion really is propaganda and can distinctly remember reading it as such when I first saw it. A film with no purpose other than to plant the idea of a global pandemic.
I’ve just invented a contraceptive pill that offers ‘some’ protection.
Any takers?
Well, if it has negative effectiveness, I think you could be on to a winner!
Does it guarantee the energy to participate too.. asking for a friend..
You mean it doesnt offer it to all? What if they take 3?
If it works as well as these vaccines, hell, even I might able to conceive!
If I take it will it stop my neighbours from getting pregnant?
Only if everybody else takes it too.
Cannot for the life of me understand why the BBC aren’t mentioning this.
In any sane world this would be the death of bigpharma, Gates, Blair etc. (and I mean that literally).
How I long for that Mussolini moment….
BBC are the reich broadcasters. This is no longer a rhetorical characterisation.
They ignored all protests and opposition worldwide, and simply rubber stamp the covidian duplicity.
It’s not misinformation. It’s DISINFORMATION (deliberate lying).
Me too – my biggest fear is that the criminals who manufactuered and prolonged this whole debacle whether for political or financial reasons will simply walk away from it all and not face a single trial for their crimes.
I don’t think they will walk away – they have gambled everything on winning and now I think it’s pretty clear they are going to lose. I think they know that – so expect some V2s fired our way on their way out, but in the end they know the jig is up and all they have left is the Luger and the bunker. Hope they don’t shoot the dog this time, or in Fauci’s case feed him to the sand flies.
Guess who..
micron
I’ll get your prize off to you first thing in the morning.. but first you have to test negative to a PCR run at 45 cycles.. your chances are not good..
EXEMPT.
Merry Christmas!
Exempt!!!!!!!! ……………………………… oh alright then..
Merry Christmas to you too..
Mr Trogneaux’s sub.
Ok.. how about some Christmas spirit..
Brilliant.
I’ve sent that to a few Pampers.
Yeah.. cheer them up a bit..
This is almost certainly why we’ve got so many cases of covid at the moment (Omicron is the excuse).
It is also almost certainly why TPTB are so very keen to get everyone boosted — they know they’ve mucked up and that it is only by constant boosting that people won’t realise what they’ve done.
But people aren’t playing ball by rushing for boosting, and so we can see the reality of the situation coming through in the infection statistics. Eventually the tabloids will decide to sidestep the Trusted News Initiative and report on the mess that we’ve got ourselves into.
I’d say that our authorities were gambling on the next wave being as deadly as the others — it looks as though Omicron will result in people seeing what’s behind the curtain.
I feel like you’re right
Moronic can surely only mutate in one way from now on, from a bad cold to … a cold.
To paraphrase Monty Python: ‘He’s not Covid, he’s a very naughty cold’.
Which UK paper is least affected by the TNI or the BMGF … would it be the Mail?
Spot on, this could well be the curtain raiser and about time! That a coronavirus could cause a cold is nothing new at all.
In other words, there’s nothing the Fascists long for as much as a really deadly variant that will kill lots of people and terrify the rest back into gibbering submission.
Happily, that isn’t how viruses work.
I was happy but also sad to hear that a friend’s son couldn’t get his booster this week because the queue wad too long… It seems the propaganda is indeed working with many people. Three of my siblings and partners are all boostered already and a friend told me today she was banking on the booster programme to get us out of this…
…
Has there been a single confirmed case yet of omicron causing Covid?
Obviously that would have to mean negative tests for delta and “original” (because how are you going to know which variant caused Covid?), plus of course double pneumonia, a necessary requirement for Covid whichever variant may have caused it.
A single case? A single case of omicron causing Covid?
No variant so far has affected the lungs much for more than a tiny percentage of the under 70s. I’m hearing that omicron mostly doesn’t affect the lungs much even for the already chronically ill 70+.
Any “scientists” reading this who think this is a silly question should go and take a course in Logic 101.
I’m unvaccinated and never taken a test, although I may have had Covid last year. I’ve been in perfect health since then and never take any precautions, even around people with Covid. I’m incredibly healthy for my age, but tomorrow I will be spending Christmas Day alone for the first time in 65 years, because my triple vaccinated daughter says she can’t risk having me there. In this crazy upside-down, inside-out world, negative vaccine effectiveness is a perfect fit with tests that don’t work and governments that know less than nothing.
That’s so sad, Chris_uk. I hope you have a good time tomorrow, regardless.
I’ll be absolutely fine, thanks. I’m well aware there are millions of people in far worse situations due to all the craziness. My thoughts are with them.
I’m very sorry to hear that, it is indeed crazy. This kind of scenario is happening to a great many people. I’ve a friend who is spending Christmas alone because someone he normally has Christmas with has cancelled due to covid. I almost had Christmas cancelled on me by my grandmother because she’s been in contact with someone who’s daughter allegedly has it. Fortunately she saw sense and said I can come anyway, although it was touch and go because she watches TV and half believes the narrative.
No consolation but she will come to regret that decision until the day she dies
Really feel for you, so hope that you have a good day irrespective of the decision of your daughter.
You won’t be alone. Our thoughts will be with you.
Fuck that makes me so angry. The government have a lot to answer for
I suppose they will focus on the hospitalisation and death figures and ignore the infections/cases. Its what happens in those 2-3 weeks after a jab that interest me when the jabbed are classed as unvaccinated.
Is it time to laugh at “the vaccinated” yet or do we wait until they start dying?
Don’t laugh at them, they’ll get dangerous when they realise they have nothing to lose and you’ll make yourself a target. Just quietly make plans for a swift exit to a remote location when the cities start tearing themselves apart. And remember to pack some PPE. You‘ll actually need it when the place is littered with corpses and you’re on a raid for supplies.
And you won’t be laughing then.
Well, ok, maybe just a little.
Thank you Will, for continuing to produce meaningful reports during Christmas Eve. You deserve a break.
Seconded!
“and booster effect starts to wear off.”
Let’s hope it wears off! Its detrimental effects, that is.
lol
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
The truth is still struggling to break through the tissue of Politicians’ lies and media censorship!
Is that death by or with Covid and why doesn’t the vaccine reduce all cause deaths (I am thinking of Professor Norman Fenton’s group’s study)?
-75%? Hahahahaha!
Once again for the fuckwits in the cheap seats at the back:
The Only Immunity These Experimental Treatments Provide Is Immunity From Prosecution For The Manufacturers
