And no I am not doing the dirty work for anybody anymore.

why would you change your MO now, Mr "I have 80GB of antivax research, but I won't share it"?

Typical of those who have nothing to backup either BS claims.

That age breakdown really useful information. Frankly I don't give a damn about under 35s, as there is minimal evidence that vaccination stops infection or transmission, and this just distorts the numbers we should care about.

Understanding Relative Risk Reduction (RRR) and Absolute Risk Reduction (ARR) in Vaccine Trials - PANDA

In broad terms, the ARR compares how much the overall probability of an outcome reduced or increased. The RRR just compares the benefit, no matter how small, of one event versus another.

A very educational article on Absolute vs Relative risks, how it applies to covid, vaccines and Pfizer trials.

Excellent find!

Sigh people still seem to think that antibodies created by a vaccine are different to those created if you got it. They aren't injecting you with antibodies people sigh.

Isn't that a load of rubbish if you consider quite a few are now "unvaxxed" due to the time frames?

Excellent visualization. Time is important in annotating any result.

Editorial | Vaccinate or else... | Citypress

We all should have been better prepared as a country for this fourth wave of Covid-19. Sadly, the daily escalating infection numbers tell a different story

www.news24.com

Our vaccination response to this pandemic is the weakest link in our meek efforts to fight this raging, deadly virus. As it stands, just over 14 million people in the country have been fully vaccinated – only 25% of our population. This is a far cry from the 67% needed for us to reach herd immunity.

How is this brief editorial NOT disinformation??

 

[flytek]

Not just a zealot but a clueless one too.
If only they knew that if one includes previous infections then the effective vaccination rate is over its outdated and incorrect 67% threshold for herd immunity and still its not stopping this latest wave. So much bs is one article informing a bunch of fools who will believe it and scream about introducing new lockdowns, travel bans, vaccine mandates and passports to save their vaccinated asses. The unvaccinated have judged thier risk and won't be supporting the stripping of our right or other knee jerk abuses of our freedoms.

Flytik, have you ever considered using the quote function so people might have an idea what you are referring to?

In the absense of quotes the post above provides context

No, it doesn't really, if you aren't quoting it's normal to presume you are replying to the post immediately prior to yours, and I struggle to think you'd be referring to your team mate Paulie.
