Total Vaccine Doses Delivered: 151,108,445 (4,145,700 J&J)
Administered: 115,730,008 (1,911,052 J&J)
People Vaccinated, At Least One Dose: 75,495,716
Fully Vaccinated: 40,981,464
(Excerpt) Read more at covid.cdc.gov ...
Doses Delivered: 3.5 million (big day) (204,000 J&J - typical)
Total Administered: 2.7 million (strong day) (145,000 J&J - down a bit)
New People Receiving 1st Dose: 1.8 million (strong)
People Fully Vaccinated: 992,000 (good day)
Strong inventories on hand (35.4 million).
The Program continues steadily, firing on all cylinders.
It seems that those 75 or older have slowed getting first shots, once we got through about 2/3rds of that population (14 out of 22 million).
Not only has the 65-74 year old age group started getting a larger share of the new first shots, but those 50-64 seem to be getting in line in greater numbers also, over the last week or so.
66.3% of those ≥ 65 Years of Age have now received a first shot.
29.2% of Adults (≥ 18 Years of Age).
New data showing that even just one dose of the Pfizer vaccine can provide as much as 90% protection. Really positive news!
Then why do the 2nd dose when it’s the 2nd more likely to cause adverse effects? Overkill? 🤷🏻♀️
Pfizer’s mRNA Vaccine

As of March 5th, 2021
1524 DEATHS
3477 HOSPITALIZATIONS
5806 URGENT CARE
4748 OFFICE VISITS
292 ANAPHYLAXIS
367 BELL’S PALSY
Any data on Johnson and Johnson yet?
95% is significantly better than 90% and the adverse effects are things like fever, body aches, soreness at the injection site, etc. Pretty mild stuff comparatively. Also, that study out of Israel showing "up to 90%" is still pretty new and not yet replicated (that I've seen). Actual efficacy - particularly against the South Africa or Brazil variants - could be a lot less.
The polio shot is >90% effective at two doses. It's 99% effective at 3. You aren't considered "fully vaccinated" unless you've had four. It's a risk:reward calculation. When the risk of real problems is very low and the reward is a significant reduction in the risk for real problems, you do it; sore arms and body aches be damned.
This is an extremely misleading post. You’re referencing VAERS as though these problems were actually CAUSED by a vaccine. In fact, VAERS reports only mean that something happened at some point after the person got vaccinated. Grampa is 98 with a history of heart conditions and dies of a heart attack a week and a half after getting a vaccine? It goes into VAERS - by law.
Here’s some references from the HHS Guide to Interpreting Data in VAERS:
“When evaluating data from VAERS, it is important to note that for any reported event, no cause-and-effect relationship has been established.”
“VAERS collects data on any adverse event following vaccination, be it coincidental or truly caused by a vaccine. The report of an adverse event to VAERS is not documentation that a vaccine caused the event.”
“VAERS reports can be submitted voluntarily by anyone, including healthcare providers, patients, or family members. Reports vary in quality and completeness. They often lack details and sometimes can have information that contains errors.”
“A report to VAERS generally does not prove that the identified vaccine(s) caused the adverse event described.”
“No proof that the event was caused by the vaccine is required in order for VAERS to accept the report.”

These data are for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. No causation is attributed to having received the vaccine.
You talking about these J&Js:

“New data showing that even just one dose of the Pfizer vaccine can provide as much as 90% protection. Really positive news!”
My understanding is that the reported effectiveness numbers are from a specific snapshot in time (like 14 days after the second shot - to standardize analysis and comparisons) but that actual effectiveness tends to continue to improve a bit more for a while after these arbitrary benchmarks, on each bodies own timeline.
They now have extensive time-series analysis of the effectiveness of Pfizer’s vaccine from Israel. I’d guess that is where they are getting this new information.
We will have to wait to see how long protection lasts (a year, or a lifetime), but I expect that the peak effectiveness will likely be better than the arbitrary point in time they happened to choose to measure, for the purposes of having a controlled study.
So is Pfizer markedly better than Moderna?
LoL saved for later viewing. That’s from actually before my time.
When you submit a post with such glaring omissions of fact that it makes ANYTHING you post suspect.
Never forget lies of omission are nonetheless LIES.
Read an article written last week that basically stated after 4 weeks with one Pfizer dose a person is “bulletproof”....95+ % protected.
According to my physician, the second dose gives an added protection that is only fractionally better (2-3 more %).
VAERS reporting is voluntary. It is a passive system. There is no “ by law”
Good source of anecdotal reports that will never show up in official reports.
Expect it to become censored under this regime.
A lot of people have allergies and conditions that may make them more susceptible to vaccine side effects. The reports especially help those people and are not meant to be taken as blanket warnings for all.
So VAERS has about 16,000 possible things out of over 50 million Pfizer shots administered about 1/3,000.
Some things, like Bell’s Palsy and anaphylaxis, are common to most all vaccines, and within the normally established ranges for EUA.
The rest are vague, catch-all categories, that include any coincidental thing - drug overdoses, car accidents, heart attacks, pre-existing conditions, trip and fall, anxiety - whatever. And still only 1/3,000.
The data are in. These vaccines are in the same safety ballpark as others.
“So is Pfizer markedly better than Moderna?”
Unlikely.
It is likely just that Pfizer made a deal with Israel to supply them with millions of doses early on, in return for Israel carefully managing data collection as a gigantic controlled study.
So more detailed results are available on Pfizer first.
To the 2.7 million that were administered a shot:
“Congratulations, lab rats!”
Except these are not vaccines, but serums that only mitigate some of the worst symptoms sometimes in some people. Once you get the jabs you can still get it, and must still stay physically distant from others and continue masking. So stop calling them what they are not.
A whole lot of fuss over a flu whose ‘solutions’ do not work or not work as advertised. And so we quibble over various remedies and outcomes to make the whole farce seem upright, when it certainly is not.
Fear mongering and Statist solutions to control people, destroy economies and usher in tyranny under the guise of a “medical” emergency.
