    People keep asking me this, so I wrote up a quick explainer - why are vaccinated people getting Covid-19?https://gidmk.medium.com/why-are-vaccinated-people-getting-covid-19-951f49d77215 …

        The basic answer involves a lengthy discussion about denominators, which is basically the cornerstone of all epidemiology

        @MarcVegt artikel voor u. Het seatbelt voorbeeld...jij zou die sterftecijfers presenteren met de titel "veiligheidsgordel onveiliger want meer doden, de cijfers liegen niet".

        It’s not 100% effective? That’s a one line argument, that’s necessary and sufficient. QED!

        I'm curious – if you're vaccinated, what counts as infection? Suppose you're exposed. How far does it have to progress before we say the vac was ineffective? If it's just to detectability, do high exposure and testing rates count against effectiveness?

        Where does a randomizing data base query error show up in calling bullshit, or has vaccine symptomatic effectiveness gone to zero after 4 months? This week's suspect report has 84 percent of age 40 to 49 cases fully vaccinated.https://twitter.com/Ibeenhacked/status/1420436327955189763 …

        Unfortunately the raw data spreadsheet appears to have randomized vaccination data. Because stuff happens. From the raw data, Week 7-18 to 7-24, Age 40 to 49, 918 double shot + 21 days, 170 not vaccinated. You believe 84 of percent cases are the 80 percent or so vaxed? pic.twitter.com/EjxSQB43Tq

        I hope it is a database error. Otherwise the whole elephant is that over 1000 data points say there is very little if any Delta symptomatic effectiveness after 4 months or so????
