My biggest fear is immunity of an individual lasts around 6 month.Thats why we are looking at wave after wave in different countries approximately 6 months apart. Data from Israel is scary and kind of points to similar trend.
- sprafa 5y agoSure and Israel is doing booster shots and it’s working. Your point being? Covid is a new “flu” type endemic disease. We’ll manage it, hopefully.
- tzs 5y agoAre you talking about the data from Israel that shows efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine dropping to 67.5%? If so what you are seeing is Simpson's paradox. The same data when broken down by under 50 and 50+ gives 91.8% and 85.2%. Breaking it down even farther by age group gives: 12-15 100% 16-19 100% 20-29 100% 30-39 96.8% 40-49 93.9% 50-59 92.8% 60-69 88.7% 70-79 89.6% 80-89 81.1% 90+ 92.4% See [1].
