Dr. Weeks’ Comment: A rational scientific assessment would conclude that vaccines hurt more than they help. Not opinion. Rational scientific assessment.
This is an important message for everybody that has been blindly trusting the CDC and WHO’s recommendations that pseudo-scientifically push patients (especially infants and children) to then blindly consent to so many of these unaffordable, dangerous and often useless vaccines. GGK
Subject: The Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNV) that Should make Thoughtful Prospective Patients Hesitant to Accept EVERY Vaccine that the CDC and AAP Wants to Inject into Infants and Children
Duty to Warn
The NNV (Number Needed to Vaccinate):
A Truth-telling Statistic that Big Pharma and the CDC Never Reports to us Physicians, Nurses, Clinics or our Patients
By Gary G. Kohls, MD – May 15, 2018 (845 words)
<<SNIP>>
The Number Needed to Vaccinate (NNV) the number of patients will need to be vaccinated for one patient to benefit. The larger the number, the worse the efficacy of the vaccine (or drug). A few examples are listed below:
Examples of Important Numbers Needed to Vaccinate (NNV)
Many of these examples come from the literature, including some from this source:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X14016867. Statistics such as these can be expected to vary according to location, age, chronic illnesses, nutritional status, etc. Googling Number Needed to Vaccinate is useful, although the CDC references should be viewed with a large amount of skepticism, because the close financial and collegial relationships between the CDC and Big Pharma create huge conflicts of interest.
NNV for Flu Vaccine to Prevent One Hospitalization (< 4 years of age) is 1852
Quantifying benefits and risks of vaccinating Australian children aged six months to four years with trivalent inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine in 2010
H. Kelly, et al
https://www.eurosurveillance.org/images/dynamic/EE/V15N37/art19661.pdf
1852 children would have to be vaccinated to avoid one hospitalization due to any strain of circulating influenza (2009).
The authors also estimated that, for every hospital admission due to influenza prevented, vaccination with Fluvax or Fluvax Junior in 2010 may have caused two to three hospital admissions due to febrile convulsions.

The NNV for Pneumovax-23 for preventing a single case invasive pneumococcal disease for adults >age 65 varied between 4388 – 7122
BUT, the calculated VE (vaccine efficacy rate) for the Pneumovax-23 was advertised as 61.7%, dramatically exposing the uselessness of the fraudulent VE statistic, especially when it is compared to the more meaningful NNV.

NNV for Gardasil in sexually inactive 12-year-old girls is 9,080
CMAJ. 2007 Aug 28; 177(5): 464–468.
Estimating the Number Needed to Vaccinate to Prevent Diseases and Death Related to Human Papillomavirus Infection
Marc Brisson, PhD, et al
324 sexually-inactive 12 year-old girls would have to be vaccinated with Gardasil in order to prevent one case of cervical cancer if lifelong protection is obtained from the vaccine, there is an efficacy rate of 95% and no waning of immunity occurs (all three assumptions are absurd)
9,080 sexually inactive 12 year-old girls would have to be vaccinated with Gardasil in order to prevent one case of cervical cancer – if the efficacy rate is 95%, if lifelong protection from the vaccine is obtained and the immunologic protection wanes at only 3% per year (all three assumptions are still likely unobtainable)
Therefore, an NNV of 9,080 is likely to be an extremely over-optimistic estimate.

A trial of a 9-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in children with and those without HIV infection.
Klugman, KP, et al
In the South African trial conducted in the urban township of Soweto, vaccination of nearly 20,000 infants resulted in only 31 fewer cases of invasive pneumococcal disease in the overall population and in only 13 fewer cases among HIV-negative children, although the VE against invasive pneumococcal diseasehttp://www.cochrane.org/CD001269/ARI_vaccines-prevent-influenza-healthy-adultswas 83%.
The following NNTs are for low risk patients who took statins for 5 years (and whose only risk was elevated cholesterol but no documented coronary artery disease) compared to patients of similar low risk that did not take statins:
The NNT for statin drugs to prevent one heart attack: – 104
The NNT for statin drugs to prevent one stroke: 154
The NNH (number needed to harm) for statins to cause rhabdomyonecrosis of the heart = 10
