There is data from germany? There was a media blitz about low covid infection prevention in ages over 65, but the confidence interval was between something like -130% to 90%, so it's more of a case of missing data
- morsch 6y agoThere is no data from Germany. The German commission on vaccination concluded, based on the data provided by AZ, that a) there is no reason to believe that AZ is unsafe and b) there is currently insufficient data on efficacy in ages over 65 to recommend vaccination.
- quantgenius 6y agoMost deaths are in over 65s. If the confidence interval on the vaccine working on over 65s is -130% to 90%, how can you possibly claim this vaccine will do anything. Their conclusions were based on data submitted by Astra Zeneca and data Astra Zeneca did not initially submit. Breaking news this AM: South Africa just halted the use of the Astra Zeneca vaccine. It's being spun as being done because of evidence it doesn't work on the new strain. I strongly suspect once all the data is in, this vaccine will be found to be indistinguishable from placebo.
