    An outbreak involving a variant with 484K in a vulnerable vaccinated population still showed *very* strong (86.5%) protection against symptomatic illness. This is *very* good news, and should build further confidence in vaccinationhttps://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7017e2.htm?s_cid=mm7017e2_w …

        For older patients in recent outbreak efficacy rate ~66% & appears to correlate w/ other recent reports of “breakthrough” in older ppl suggesting efficacy 50%-85% depending on age cohort, brand of vaccine, viral variant & underlying health. Need to raise vaccination rates FAST.

        Remember that this 66% is for infection. The 95% figure from Pfizer's trial was on symptomatic disease, for which this study reports 87% effectiveness.

        Are there still people at this point who believe the vaccines don’t work very well? The false information I see spreading among prominent commentators is that the vaccines are essentially bulletproof, and that people are irrational if they don’t behave as such.

        Overconfidence in vaccines is much more common than vaccine hesitancy, IMO.

        ..but also make the case that normalcy means all employees in nursing homes need to be vaccinated -> one vaccinated resident still died.

        (haven't seen a case study yet where infected VACCINATED staff member leads to a reasonable but definitely not zero number of breakthrough infections)

        @Lisawashere20 this is that pesky mutation I was talking about. Looks like the vaccine still performed really well with it:)

        Thank you for sharing. Many articles about 'breakthrough' infections among vaccinated fail to mention or stress protective effect of vaccine, & most omit the fact that low re-infection rate also occurs in people who previously had Covid-19. Showing a comparison would reduce fear.

        Yes, encouraging how well things are holding up even in worse case scenarios—already vulnerable population AND congregate living PLUS a variant that had caused a lot of worry. Better than I hoped. I mean, OC43 outbreaks cause deaths in nursing homes... This is solid protection.

        We need this to be the message. Also, vaccines cannot provide full protection against old age.
