(Fairly) effective at preventing serious disease/hospitalization. It seems to me the original plan on the vaccines was to reduce r0 below 1 in the population as a whole, but when Delta came along we changed the metrics the vaccines were to be judged by.
- pseudalopex 5y agoOver 90% is more than fairly effective. All vaccines are judged by preventing serious disease and death. Not meeting higher hopes doesn't change that.
- hammock 5y agoThe justification for a vaccine mandate is based on preventing infection and transmission (aka r0), not just disease or death. That is probably on a lot of people's minds.
