NEW: I saved this one up for the US morning, because it’s a big "good Covid news" moment for our friends across the Atlantic A "vaccine effect" is now clear in US data, with hospitalisations falling faster among the old (mostly vaccinated) than the young https://www.ft.com/content/78bb2c9c-9795-4a0c-860b-eede85fdb9b7 …pic.twitter.com/JOfIMbR85t
This divergence can’t just be explained by the elderly being more cautious: we did the same analysis for the second wave last summer/fall, and back then rates among the old actually fell slower & less far.
Now they’re falling faster. What’s changed? They’ve been vaccinated 
Hospitalisations are clearest sign of vaccine doing its work, but we can see similar patterns in cases & deaths if we make the same comparison: Second wave, no vaccines: rates fell slowly & less far among the old Today, with vaccines: rate of decline among elderly has caught uppic.twitter.com/3tYZ4IuIRS
Another positive picture comes from nursing homes, which led the US vaccine rollout: Last summer/fall, rates took longer to decline in nursing homes and deaths fell slowly. This time, rates began falling earlier — shortly after vaccination — and have dropped furtherpic.twitter.com/QKY8glDTWJ

The “Joe Biden Effect”
Let's get everybody vaccinated pronto.
Thanks so much! 
I can’t stand it when hospitalization is incorrectly spelled.
It’s spelled correctly. FT is a UK newspaper.
