This is why they did away with the PCR test. Something big is afoot.
The remarkable fact that 94.4% of the people hospitalized for COVID-like illness didn't have COVID should have been the biggest story. The vaccines could be 100% effective against “COVID,” but if all that means is making someone test negative while they are hospitalized for respiratory failure, it is completely meaningless.
Among those hospitalized for COVID-like illness, those vaccinated were far less likely to test positive for COVID. Calculating “vaccine efficacy” from this, a third shot of one of the mRNA vaccines was 94% effective against “COVID-19–associated hospitalizations” during the delta-dominant period and 90% effective during the omicron-dominant period.
But “efficacy” means that they helped you get a negative PCR test while you were hospitalized for respiratory failure or other symptoms of COVID-like illness.
It seems that the vax works--those vaccinated are much less likely to get COVID--but on the other hand they are hospitalized more for COVID-like non-COVID virus. This looks a lot like ADE. It isn't the COVID virus that's exploiting the vaccine-produced COVID antibodies, but some other virus that's not COVID.
