Studies, anecdotal evidence show vaccines work

I read the interview with Dr. Malone on Epoch Times in its entirety (Shep Snow, Sept. 19).

Dr. Malone covers a lot of ground on COVID-19, the vaccine, and the way data is collected. He notes that the data regarding the causation of reactions from the vaccine is limited to whether people report back to the CDC. Many apparently do not. The assumption is that the larger number of non-respondents proves that people are not having reactions where Dr. Malone is suggesting that not having all data does not necessarily mean that people are not having reactions.

This leaves us with no clear conclusive evidence to rely on. He therefore suggests we see our doctors and discuss our personal health conditions before we just routinely decide to take or not take the vaccine. He even suggests that anecdotal evidence is what many people rely on. He uses Aunt Mary as an example and concludes it is more complex than just one personal variable. In the end, Dr. Malone states that the vaccines work.

As we know now from pretty hard evidence that over 90% of those in the ICU are not vaccinated. To add my own anecdotal evidence here, I am 74 years old and had the two Moderna vaccines very early on. I had a third vaccine recently. I had minimum reactions of feeling unwell for 24 hours but otherwise fine. After my booster I was exposed to a person who was in the ICU 5 days later with COVID. I did not become ill while others around did. Just saying …
