Do you have a strong enough characterization to put numbers on it?
How much do you think vaccination reduces chances of infection?
(My impression is that it is about 100x, for at least some period. Looks like 3rd shots will last longer than 2nd too)
- thenewnormal 5y agoAccording to a recent UK Government report, cases are higher among many age groups of vaccinated people, than among unvaccinated people. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1034383/Vaccine-surveillance-report-week-46.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... (Table 6) Yes, I am fully aware the table also shows that hospitalisations and death rates are lower amongst vaccinated people.
- nradov 5y agoThe reduction in risk of infection is nowhere near 100×. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/delta-variant-vaccines-protect-from-severe-disease-but-do-not-stop-all-transmission https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/delta-variant-vacc...
- maxerickson 5y agoIs household infection the dominant form of transmission? Also, I see you dismiss my speculation but stay mute on what you meant by "only slightly".

- NoPie 5y ago100× is definitely too optimistic. Even the original studies with alpha variant and shortly after vaccination was less than 95% effective, i.e., only 20 times. It seems that the current value is closer to 40% reduction in covid transmission: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-11-vaccines-covid-transmission.html https://medicalxpress.com/news/2021-11-vaccines-covid-transm...
