How would that work? How is immunity defined? Anti-body count?
- nradov 5y agoThere is no simple definition of immunity. It's not a binary condition. The human immune system is complex with multiple mechanisms at work. Long term immunity tends to depend more on memory cells than circulating antibodies.
- wbsss4412 5y agoNote that it didn’t say immunity. The quoted number is saying the rate of hospitalization and death among the vaccinated is 90% lower than it is among the unvaccinated. It’s a simple calculation. Group a had X hospitalizations, group b had Y. Adjusting for population sizes, X is 90% lower than Y.
