Study: COVID-19 Vaccines Not Effective against Hospitalization

To anyone who is at least half-awake, the COVID-19 “vaccines” causing health problems and death is not even a question. The question is about the degree. Regardless of the answer to that question, there is some data to suggest that the vaccines may have short-term benefits, including preventing hospitalization (without excluding the possibility of causing problems).


A pre-print study by S. Kirsch et al titled “A Novel Practical Approach for Directly Assessing COVID-19 Vaccine Efficacy against Hospitalization” posted on 6 August 2024 claims that these so-called vaccines are not effective even against hospitalization.


The paper is based on the observations in the research letter by Y. Xie et al titled “Risk of Death in Patients Hospitalized for COVID-19 vs Seasonal Influenza in Fall-Winter 2022-2023”.


This paper by S. Kirsch et al is at about 5 pages and takes a relatively simple approach. Table 1 reproduced below shows the COVID-19 and influenza hospitalizations.


Table 1: Baseline Vaccination Characteristics for COVID-19 and Influenza Cohorts.
Table 1: Baseline Vaccination Characteristics for COVID-19 and Influenza Cohorts.

The authors make the obvious observation:

The fact that the proportion vaccinated for both vaccines are nearly identical in the two columns indicates that there was no net protective effect against hospitalization for either vaccine.

Whilst this view may be commonsensical, it is arguably a bit of a leap. Nevertheless, in short, if the vaccines are as effective as claimed, then the percentage of unvaccinated hospitalized should be higher than shown whilst the percentage of vaccinated hospitalized should be lower than shown.

If ideal vaccines existed that prevented hospitalization entirely for each virus, one would expect the two cohorts to differ dramatically in the percent (%) vaccinated for the corresponding disease resulting in hospitalization. For example, for the VA patients included in the analysis who were hospitalized for COVID-19, it would be expected that 100% would not have received the COVID-19 vaccines, and that roughly 60% would have had the influenza vaccine. Likewise, for a perfect influenza vaccine, it would be expected that 100% of the patients hospitalized for the flu would be unvaccinated for influenza and that 80% would have received the COVID-19 vaccines based upon the VA data.
