Anecdotal, but they are data points.
1. Co-worker, apparently healthy cauc make age 43, received Pfizer vaccine, contracted covid approx 33 days after 2d dose. Was in hospital for 3 weeks and has had various problems for several months.
2. Neighbor's kid, very fit (volleyball, track) hispanic female age 16, received Pfizer vaccine, has had joint problems, headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms since being vaccinated.
3. Myself, cranky geezer of dubious health and doubtful usefulness male age 64, received Janssen vaccine and approx 19-20 days later had mild symptoms that were originally believed to be a cold but later tested as covid positive, and still feel normal and cranky.
So from my little world, the only observed efficacy is the national and global statistics on covid spread and prevention per vaccinations. Your mileage may vary.
- BJBBB 5y agoI am not an anti-vaxer. I did not say that we should not vaccinate against the covid virus. I did not disparage any political view point. I did not include any racial or ethnic slurs. Supposedly educated and informed people need to be careful and always remain analytical whether or not the presentation of empirical data are coincident with your belief system. And if you down-vote, have the technical and ethical veracity to provide a comment as to why you think I am full of doggy doo-doo.

- dang 5y agoPlease don't break the site guidelines by going on about downvotes. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html It sucks to get downvoted, but it happens to everyone. Moreover, unfairly downvoted comments usually (though not always) eventually get corrective upvotes: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=corrective%20upvote https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor.... This happened with your comment above. Meanwhile the off-topic meta complaint lingers on as uncollected garbage even after it has been falsified.
