Oooooofffff......

She added that 50 percent of the current infections are vaccinated individuals. "Previously we thought that fully vaccinated individuals are protected, but we now see that vaccine effectiveness is roughly 40 percent." She noted that while effectiveness remains high for severe disease, Israel is seeing diminished protection, particularly for those who have been vaccinated longer.

May want to add that's for the delta variant, which is the one that's taken over.

Oh this is a lot better than what I thought we were going to see.

So it prevents severe disease at a very high effectiveness level, and it also still prevents infection totally at a rate as high as 40%?

Guess there is some validity now to the vaccine passport folks now. It was sounding like there wasn't an argument to why vaccinations effected others.

Can’t wait to see the final price tag for US tax payers for a vaccine that isn’t worth a shite. Wonder how long it will take for anyone in leadership to admit it.

We paid for the vaccine’s development and production, paid pharma co’s for the supply, paid providers at least $80 for each person given the vaccine and then we’ll keep paying for “new” vaccines for each variant so that 60 days later it can be 40% effective…on and on.

Can we stop saying "the" vaccine?

There are three fricking variants and nobody knows which is best.

My local JCC where I workout is now requiring masks for vaccinated people again except for when you’re actually working out. So sick of this shite.

This is all that matters. Antivaxers need to learn how to read fully.

This is about in line with the flu vaccine.

The flu vaccine varies in effectiveness from 11 to 67%. That is its worse year the flu vaccine had an 11% effectiveness and its best year it was 67%.

"We compare people — both over the age of 60 but also between 16 and 59 — who were immunized early on and fully vaccinated by the end of January. We see infection rates among them that is 90 per 100,000, which is double of those who are fully vaccinated by March," she said, adding that "we see a drop in the vaccine effectiveness against disease for those who have been vaccinated early on, and we see it for both elderly people over the age of 60 but also for the younger."


So she's saying the same thing as that study that came out a few weeks ago that Alex Jones pretended to mean the vaccine does nothing. She's saying that effectiveness eventually wanes, especially in the elderly (who were, of course, vaccinated earlier on) and that it may require a booster.

This is a nothing burger

How does immunity through prior infection hold up?

The Israel's have a high percentage of vaccinated population, having their data and analysis helps us. Their evidence points to a need for booster shots.

"We see infection rates among them that is 90 per 100,000, which is double of those who are fully vaccinated by March," she said, adding that "we see a drop in the vaccine effectiveness against disease for those who have been vaccinated early on, and we see it for both elderly people over the age of 60 but also for the younger."

An infection rate of 90 per 100,000 is 0.0009%.

Most adults in the US who want to be vaccinated have by now done that. Those that do not have not. Covid hospitalizations today are overwhelmingly of the unvaccinated, with deaths almost exclusively so.

It's time to let it ride, open things up and discard notions of masking.

Let Covid burn itself out with herd immunity before a variant develops immune to vaccines. People, not government, are responsible for their own and their families health. Choices must be made.

With this approach, avoidable deaths will occur among all age groups. Perhaps a sharp rise in mortality rates persuades some to get vaccinated.

Regardless, time to move on and let the chips fall where they may.

This is working as advertised. Not sure why so many have a surprised Pikachu face about this.

They said it was 90%+ effective at preventing severe cases that require hospitalizations or result in death. They never said it prevents you from getting the actual virus.
