New JAMA study finds 100,000 COVID shots were needed to save a single life under age 30—researchers slam mandates as “zealotry.”

In a major mainstream narrative reversal, the U.K.’s The Telegraph—a London-based international daily broadsheet—has published a damning admission: the COVID-19 injections “saved far fewer lives than first thought.”
The new research was published in the JAMA Health Forum on July 25, 2025.
Covering what it calls a “major new analysis,” The Telegraph reports that scientists behind the study are now openly criticizing “aggressive mandates and the zealotry to vaccinate everyone at all cost.”
The outlet cites new modeling conducted by researchers at Stanford University and the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Italy, which sharply contradicts the World Health Organization’s (WHO) prior estimate that COVID jabs prevented 14.4 million deaths globally in their first year of use.
Instead, the Stanford-led study estimates the true figure to be closer to just 2.5 million deaths prevented over the entire course of the pandemic.
“Covid vaccines saved far fewer lives than first thought, a major new analysis has concluded, with researchers criticising ‘aggressive mandates’… New modelling by Stanford University and Italian researchers suggests that while the vaccines did save lives, the true figure was ‘substantially more conservative’ and closer to 2.5 million people worldwide over the course of the pandemic.”
The study also reveals how age-stratified benefit was overwhelmingly skewed toward the elderly, raising serious questions about the mass vaccination of low-risk populations.
“The team estimated that nine of 10 prevented deaths were in the over-60s, with jabs saving just 299 people aged under 20, and 1,808 people aged between 20 and 30 globally. Overall 5,400 people needed to be vaccinated to save one life, but in the under-30s this figure rose to 100,000 jabs, the paper suggests.”
The first author of the paper, Dr. John Ioannidis, Professor of Medicine at Stanford, told The Telegraph:
“I think early estimates were based on many parameters having values that are incompatible with our current understanding. In principle, targeting the populations who would get the vast majority of the benefit and letting alone those with questionable risk-benefit and cost-benefit makes a lot of sense. Aggressive mandates and the zealotry to vaccinate everyone at all cost were probably a bad idea.”
The team believes that roughly 14.8 million life-years were saved over the course of the pandemic, amounting to just one life-year per 900 vaccine doses administered.
“Researchers concluded that although vaccines had a ‘substantial benefit’ on global mortality, it was ‘mostly limited’ to older people.”
Dr. Angelo Maria Pezzullo, a public health researcher at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan, explained:
“Before ours, several studies tried to estimate lives saved by vaccines with different models and in different periods or parts of the world, but this one is the most comprehensive because it is based on worldwide data. It also covers the omicron period. It also calculates the number of years of life that was saved, and it is based on fewer assumptions about the pandemic trend.”
The Telegraph notes that more than 13 billion COVID shots have been administered since 2021.
But public confidence has continued to wane, particularly among younger populations facing far lower risk of severe COVID outcomes—and increasing evidence of vaccine harms like myocarditis and pericarditis.
“There have been mounting concerns that vaccines could be harmful for some people, particularly the young, and that the risk was not worth the benefit for a population at little risk from Covid. More than 17,500 Britons have applied to the Government’s vaccine damage payment scheme, believing they or loved ones were injured by the jabs. In June, manufacturers added warnings for myocarditis and pericarditis to the prescribing information of Covid messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines.”
British MP Sir David Davis, known for his opposition to vaccine mandates, welcomed the study as vindication.
“Frankly it’s a good cautionary tale that if we have another pandemic we should be far more clinical about the risk-benefit ratio. We knew pretty quickly who the most susceptible groups were and we should have focused very strictly on them, rather than placing people who were at little risk in hazard’s way. The level of aggression of trying to force people to become vaccinated and shutting down people who were raising concerns, the reasons for those concerns are all validated in this report.”
The data is in, the damage is done, and even the mainstream press can no longer deny it—millions were coerced into taking a product that saved few, harmed many, and was pushed with a zealotry science never justified.
CDC VAERS watchdogs confirm 38,709 deaths have been linked to COVID jabs.
But keep in mind that the CDC’s VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Reporting System) tool is estimated to underreport by a factor of 100, according to a $1-million study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and conducted by Harvard Pilgrim.

STARMERS UK – FOR MIGRANTS, NOT US
‘No shops, no schools’: homes in England built without basic amenities
Thousands of homes across England are being built without urgently needed community infrastructure,
often on flood plains say councillors and campaigners, leaving families without access to playgrounds, schools, shops, buses doctors.
and proper sewage outlets
Even where provision is built, it can take years to come into use, the Guardian has been told.
These homes called MP housing are shoe boxes are thrown up and often built shoddily,
MP housing is migrant priority
It won’t be a “major mainstream narrative reversal” until rags like The Telegraph have published the following damning admission:
“Governments in The West – particularly those in the US/UK/AUS/NZ/CND (((Crown))) Colonies – are CRIMINALLY CULPABLE for the Covid HOAX!!!!”
Still we pretend there are unicorn-like tiny mythical creatures like viruses. never been any real scientific proof to date. propaganda and outright lies galore but no proof. There was and is no flu, wake up. It’s your body detoxing all the poisons you ingest. The tyranny will never stop unless we realize this.
We are sprayed like bugs daily and nobody looks up to see the obvious, yet nearly everyone believes this tiny little make believe creatures are making us sick. Good grief.
Heroes work here
WTF?? What a half-assed confession! Truth is, it saved zero lives! Killed & maimed millions is what it did, but they aren’t admitting that! The article is TBS; Total Bull Shit.
Round up all the perps, including those from the Jew media, who were highly culpable, and put them before the volunteer Firing Squads. Others to long prison terms. How is Bill the Geek Gates still walking free? Where are all the GOOD assassins?
“Covid vaccines saved far fewer lives than first thought,” … “saved far fewer”, eh? Yeah, f*cking zero. But their solution of rat shit and toxic sludge sure did a MASSIVE amount of damage to those dangerously stupid or sniveling cowards who queued up to let some drooling Tartuffe retard inject them with it…when they weren’t practicing their dance moves in empty hospitals…
“Stanford-led study estimates the true figure to be closer to just 2.5 million deaths prevented over the entire course of the pandemic.” … That sludge “prevented” zero deaths and anybody who says otherwise deserves to be lobotomized with a claw hammer or chainsaw. The lying quacks at Stanford spouting that shit should be stripped naked, dragged around the quad by their ankles, vigorously beaten until they piss all over themselves, coated with tar and feathers , then hanged.
there are still reports in the medias about “long covid”
victims without any mentioning if those cases are
from covid (weapon) or if they are cases of vaccined
(Pfitzer/Moderna Darpa weapon) . this clarification
intensionaly is withheld from public .
we are not so stupid like the medias believe !
It sounds like the usual plan to avoid responsibilty and typically comes in four parts:
1. “This stuff is safe! Anybody who says otherwise is a conspiracy theorist who wants to kill us all!”
2. “Hold on a minute! This stuff sounds like it may have issues…”
3. “Wait a minute! How do we know this stuff is safe?”
4. “No, no, no! Why didn’t anybody know about this?!!”
Just stop them before they come out with their last bit of sh!t number 5. “We’re all victims in this!”
The “mainstream media” flogged the vaccines on the people and is as guilty and responsible as their mutually counterparts as our corrupt and criminal governments following the orders of the Plandemic planners for the over 3.5 million excess deaths plus the uncountable number of serious vaccine injured people each year in the US alone.
It is only because there is absolutely no reliable evidence that the Covid vaccines saved anyone death or serious symptoms that they are now pumping the lie that the vaccines saved some lives. In any case, it was a very tiny percent of the population, far less that even 1%, made up the very frail advanced in age and the severely-immune compromised who were at any serious risk from the US bio-weapon Covid virus. ALL OF THE AUTHORITIES RUNNING THINGS, knew from the outset that the vaccines were never necessary to make anyone “safe”. They all knew that the tests proved that the risks were far greater than any of the benefits.
That top-down order, that pyramid of oligarch power, which controls all of our major institutions and which mostly everyone in their ignorance appears to suck up to, had no organized opposition against it during the Plandemic. It is the same evil order behind both the globalist “unipolar world order” with puppet leaders such as Starmer, Macon, Biden, Trudeau and Carney, and the globalist “multipolar world order”, headed up by louts Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin.
The J Jab “saved far fewer lives then first thought” — LMAO , talk about the ultimate example of satanic inversions. Vaccine was designed to cause disease and death, the only thing that ZOG might lament is that is didn’t kill as many as hoped because of ‘vaccine hesitancy’..
“Frankly it’s a good cautionary tale that if we have another pandemic we should be far more clinical about the risk-benefit ratio”
Here’s the proper definition of what is meant by RISK-BENEFIT ratio considerations in the future — there’s a RISK that future vaccines won’t be toxic enough and won’t sufficiently be of BENEFIT to the pocketbooks and genocidal expectations of ZOG .
