We've learned a great deal about the covid vaccine since it came out. Part of what we learned is that the statistics underlying "safe and effective" contradict what all the authorities want us to believe. There's a statistic called NNT which was disclosed in the FDA's EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) document that stated that only about one in a hundred who took the shot could possibly be helped by it — and not every time! And there's been all the emerging real-world data.
So how knowledgeable (like about NNT) and up to date is Chatgpt?
Question to Chatgpt: Are covid vaccines safe and effective?
yes, COVID-19 vaccines are both safe and effective—especially at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death.
Safety
COVID-19 vaccines authorized by major health agencies (like the FDA, CDC, WHO, and EMA) have gone through:
- Large clinical trials with tens of thousands of participants
- Ongoing safety monitoring in millions of people worldwide
- Transparent, independent review of data
Common, mild side effects:
- Sore arm
- Fatigue
- Headache or low fever
- Lasts 1–3 days
Rare risks (but very uncommon compared to COVID-19 itself):
Condition
Risk (approx.)
Notes
Myocarditis (mostly in young males after mRNA vaccines)
~12 per million second doses
Usually mild and resolves with rest
Blood clots (linked to J&J/AstraZeneca)
~4 per million
Risk led to preference for mRNA vaccines in many places
Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
~2–5 per million
Treatable; monitored after vaccination for 15 mins
Conclusion: For nearly all people, COVID-19 vaccines are safer than the virus itself.
Effectiveness
COVID-19 vaccines:
- Greatly reduce risk of severe disease and death
- Reduce—but don't eliminate—transmission, especially newer variants
- Are most effective when boosted appropriately (e.g., annual boosters for high-risk individuals)
Example (mRNA vaccines):
- 90–95% effective at preventing severe illness with earlier variants
- With new variants like Omicron, protection from infection wanes, but protection from hospitalization/death remains strong, especially with boosters
Boosters and Variants:
- COVID evolves, so boosters help adapt to new strains (like the flu shot)
- People 65+ or with health conditions are strongly encouraged to stay up-to-date
🧠 Bottom Line:
- Yes, COVID-19 vaccines are safe, well-studied, and highly effective—especially at preventing severe outcomes.
- The risks of serious COVID illness far outweigh the rare risks of vaccination.
So how knowledgeable and up to date is Chatgpt on the Covid vaccines? Not knowledgable about basic medical statistics, and grossly out of date.
First there are my posts on NNT showing that the vendors and the FDA knew perfectly well that the shots we at best useless and then actively harmful.
Then there is the massive body of evidence that has accumulated to show that the shots are actively harmful. Here is one source among many.
Sure, Chatgpt does some neat stuff. But why would any person actually use it for anything other than amusement? You really shouldn't use it for health, as I demonstrate with blood pressure, cholesterol and colonoscopies here.
