> The good news is that among Israel's serious infections on Thursday of this week, according to Health Ministry data, the rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people over age 60 (178.7 per 100,000) was nine times more than the rate among fully vaccinated people of the same age category, and the rate of serious cases among unvaccinated people in the under-60 crowd (3.2 per 100,000) was a little more than double the rate among vaccinated people in that age bracket.
- peter422 5y agoUnder 60 is not a specific enough age group for comparison of vaccinated vs unvaccinated cases. A 55 year old and a 12 year old have vastly different odds of serious disease, so much so that an unvaccinated 12 year old is less likely to get severe disease than a vaccinated 55 year old. This easily could be biased by the older end of that range being significantly more vaccinated than the younger end. If you want to compare vaccinated efficacy, look for 10 year age group comparisons. Anything else is really leaving you wide open to misleading interpretations.
