To understand why this is encouraging vaccine news, note that this is a *cluster* (overdispersed pathogen) *among the elderly* (vulnerable population) *who live together* (allows high attack rate). So way worse scenario compared with trials but vaccines *still* highly protective.https://twitter.com/BillHanage/status/1384968364460843016 …

My post on why that study of a nursing home outbreak in this thread that affected even the vaccinated was, in fact, encouraging news. It's also an example of why we need more than "just the facts" to be better informed. (Repost with the correct link.

Very good news but I find it shocking that 55 of the health care providers in that outbreak weren’t vaccinated. I don’t think that incomplete knowledge of whether vaccines prevent people from spreading the disease is a very good excuse given that it is very likely that they do.

I should have said “reduce” not “prevent”.

Yes, indeed! And of course, we saw much horse results with England's worse/one dose care homes programme, where many only just recently getting second. There was also a good study here on care worker uptake would be good to see more on this... https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.07.21252972v1 …pic.twitter.com/rllnzTsQBI

If I did the math right, 100% of non-vaccinated residents (all 8 of them) got symptomatic COVID, right? Seems like a point that wasn’t emphasized at all in the original piece
