"That means only 58% of Israel's total citizenry is fully vaccinated."
"But Israel paid a price for the early rollout. Health officials, and then Pfizer, said their data showed a dip in the vaccine's protection around six months after receiving the second shot."
That doesn't exactly fit your narrative, imo.
- the_doctah 5y agoI was agreeing with the claim that the vaccines aren't as effective as the public was initially led to believe. A dip in effectiveness after 6 months seems to follow that line of reasoning just fine. No one should be reasonably expected to get a booster every 6 months. Side note: I also can't stand when the "total vaccinated %" includes children. We all know they can't be vaccinated yet and any total % vaccinated that includes them is disingenuous. I realize it was my source, but I digress.
- failrate 5y agoThe dip in effectiveness is because unvaccinated people got infected, and the creation of variants is correlated with the number of infections.
