      Before this gets out of hand... The first two weeks after a vaccine will include pre-vaccine infections PLUS the immune system takes some time. So "one-dose efficacy" can't be calculated without that info. A reporter can track down author's reported response? via @supermarioelia https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1390107362485211136 …pic.twitter.com/PT1aTKrPUT

      (I still wish he had a proper trial on dose-sparing strategies so we'd have longer-term data, too but...) Let's not needlessly panic people who are in countries that use this strategy. But GOOD REMINDER: the first week or two after vaccination isn't post-vaccination at all.

      So redoing this analysis with this in mind (and excluding 2/3 of the cases with this assumption) I would get 77% vaccine efficacy against B117 post first dose. That is actually pretty decent! These @NEJM letters need more peer review for these implications.

      Speaking of, the study also does find that the (Pfizer-BioNTech) vaccines were 97.4% (CI:92.2–99.5) effective against preventing severe outcomes (hospitalization and death) for all breakthrough cases, including for B.1.351 variant.pic.twitter.com/NYCizsB0kz

          At least in the UK, the whole “14 days” thing was pretty clearly explained when taking the decision to switch to up to 12 weeks between doses. And it seems to be backed up by real world cases here (and against the Indian variant which is good news)https://twitter.com/jburnmurdoch/status/1390392667918458880 …

          Excellent work from Devan as ever. The data hint that vaccines appear to be working against the Indian B.1.617.2 variant when it comes to moderate to severe illness and death 💉💪 https://twitter.com/DevanSinha/status/1390388896433942544 …

          Can we shout this from the mountains for all the people who say “but the variants” when talking about nothing changing post vaccine??

          @zeynep No one reporting on this study ever mentions it, but a serious limitation was that it was almost entirely on young adults. In the B.1.351 analysis: 50-59: 5.0% 60-69: 1.0% 70+: 0.2% It's still good news overall, but it's misleading not to mention this.pic.twitter.com/WjiCfUs0Z3
