The Number That Launched a Thousand Mandates

In late 2020, the world was told Pfizer's COVID vaccine was "95% effective." That number became the foundation for government mandates, employment requirements, and the social pressure placed on anyone who asked questions. But what did 95% actually mean?

Ness and Jeff break down what the trial data actually showed — an absolute risk reduction of less than one percent, a two-month follow-up window, and a control group dissolved before long-term safety comparisons were possible. Then they trace how politicians, doctors, and the media didn't just spin that data — they flatly misrepresented it.
