VA data shows the flu and COVID shots don't reduce your risk of hospitalization

My updated analysis of VA hospitalization data shows the shots don't work. We expected to find LARGE statistically significant benefits. Instead we found no benefit.

Executive summary

In my earlier article, VA study published in JAMA shows that COVID *and* flu shots don't reduce your risk of hospitalization, I showed how you could analyze the VA hospitalization data for COVID vs. flu, and by using each disease as a control for the other disease, show that neither vaccine worked. It uses a very simple principle: if a vaccine works, the vaccinated should be hospitalized at a lower rate than the rate they’d be hospitalized for an unrelated respiratory virus.

Today, I did a Fisher exact test on the propensity-score adjusted data in the Xie paper and the results were revealing. None of the shots had a statistically significant benefit.

Here are the calculations

These calculations use the numbers in the Xie paper in the Table (propensity matched columns). The spreadsheet is in my github so you can verify everything yourself.

From the raw data:

From the propensity matched data:

In short, none of these shots had a statistically significant benefit.

Are you surprised?

Summary

We were told to expect a huge benefit. We found nothing.

Not only was their no hospitalization benefit, but the COVID CFR which didn’t drop after the vaccine rolled out. One in 6 people reported COVID vaccine adverse events in a recent public poll in Germany.

Bottom line: The data keeps telling us that the COVID shots are nonsensical and should be immediately halted, but health authorities aren’t paying attention to the data.
