20-29 year olds with low exposure risk:
* Benefit: ICU admissions prevented by having the AZ vaccine: 0.8 per 100'000 people
* Harm: Serious harm due to having the AZ vaccine: 1.1 per 100'000 people
- jfengel 6y agoIf "low exposure" means "continuing to isolate", that opens up a lot of other issues that don't show up on those statistics. I suspect there won't be many healthy 20-29 year olds who look forward to keeping their exposure low. Restaurants, bars, even offices are "exposure" -- and for that matter, their homes, if they want to have their friends over.
