Oxford Vaccine Prevents all Hospitalisations after 1 Dose- Why no Media Coverage?

Great news today from a new study showing that the Oxford vaccine prevents 100% of hospitalisations after just 1 dose. As well as 76% of symptomatic infections.

The second dose prevents 54% of transmission.

This is some of the best news of the whole pandemic. Yet there has been very little media coverage that I can see.

Is this because it doesn't fit in with the scaremongering narrative designed to encourage compliance?

@littlepieces

I dont think it's being reported because it hasn't been peer reviewed, and public assumption that one jab works would be dangerous.

I'm assuming this trial didn't involve patients in care homes either. My grandfather tested positive two weeks after having the Oxford jab and died in a care home. Same story for others residents in the same home - all had their first jab but none of them who tested positive at the same time survived it. A work colleague's elderly aunt also caught Covid in a care home over a month after receiving her first jab, and also died. Not sure which one she had, but having just one jab clearly isn't instantly 100% effective in all cases.

The study says protection kicks in after approx 22 days.

@littlepieces I’m sorry to hear about your grandfather.

But none of variant reporting has been done after properly studied peer reviewed evidence. There are a lot of ifs and maybes when announced in the press conferences etc.

It’s on most of the newspaper websites & was on the TV news

@RuggeryBuggery

That is really good news!

(Should I feel I got the short straw having the Pfizer one...? 🤔😁)

That's exactly what I thought when I read this 🤔🤣
