What is a non-arbitrary time interval, then? Over what period of time should these risks be assessed? It's common sense that one would want to know what the results are over the months following the jab, so how is that arbitrary?
- sorenn111 5y agonot OP but the point I believe is that while only portions of the population will be exposed to COVID over smaller time ranges like 4 months. Given that the disease is seemingly endemic, the probability of any individual person being exposed to it at any point in the future goes up so restricting it to 4 months includes those exposed and not exposed. To compare the relative risks, it might be more accurate to compare the risk of hospitalization for those individuals who have gotten a covid diagnosis versus those who have been vaccinated.
