      zeynep tufekci Retweeted Dr Gabriel Scally

      I just watched this interview in Turkish and it has been mistranslated. Dr. Sahin says they do expect 70-75% protection against symptomatic illness for B.1.617.2 variant, but he does NOT say "up to". He says it's not a hard number as they're still testing and will know more soon.https://twitter.com/GabrielScally/status/1395697659953008643 …

      The head of BioNTec expects their Pfizer vaccine to be "up to" 75% effective against the B.1.617.2 variant (first identified in India). This compares with its 95% effectiveness against the original virus. That is a big difference. https://globalnews.ca/video/rd/61f79f68-b9de-11eb-92de-0242ac110007/?jwsource=twi …

      Replying to @zeynep

      I just watched it as well, it’s been translated incorrectly. He says ‘around’ not ‘up to’. Plus this vaccine showed 75% protection against infection vs b1.315 in Qatar. So, effectiveness will be much higher against b1.617.2 as there is less reduction in nAb response w/ b1.617.2.

      He was pressed by the minister, clearly spoke off-the-cuff, and made it clear he didn’t have a precise number. There never should’ve been a news article in my opinion. Let alone the “up to” insertion, however it happened. We will get numbers and then we can talk about them.

          I agree totally. I have no idea why this is even in the news and amplified as if it’s based on hard data. let’s wait for the data, then we can discuss.

          While you wait for the data, people make bad decisions. This is the ossifying epistemology of EBM.
