Extensive testing between late January and late April 2021 identified 39 workers who had become infected with SARS-CoV-2 despite being fully vaccinated. All had mild symptoms or none at all, but 19% still had some symptoms 6 weeks after diagnosis.
How is that possible?
7 out of 39 people is 17.9%
8 out of 39 people is 20.5%
- BugsJustFindMe 5y agoMaybe they meant 18%.
- abathur 5y agoIt may also be 19% of the undisclosed number who had mild symptoms, excluding those who had none?
- djrogers 5y agoperhaps the actual number is 19% of those with symptoms. This is an unfortunate reality of getting scientific data from news media - when they're not wrong, they're inaccurate.
- yorwba 5y agoIt's given as 7/36 (19.4%) in the supplementary material https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2109072/suppl_file/nejmoa2109072_appendix.pdf https://www.nejm.org/doi/suppl/10.1056/NEJMoa2109072/suppl_f... I guess 3 people didn't respond to the survey 6 weeks later?
- kleiba 5y agoNo idea why anyone would downvote this comment. Thanks!
- PragmaticPulp 5y ago39 workers identified with COVID 36 responded to the survey about symptoms later. Almost every study, even small and short-term ones, have some dropouts and people who don’t respond to follow ups
- kleiba 5y agoThank you, that's very informative. +1
