    Incredible chart. It shows how effective vaccines are, including on dampening transmission. (h/t @wanderer_jasnah) The analogy is swimming pool lanes: the vaccinated are, essentially, switching lanes. Also an actual random sample! Proper epidemiological data is so informative.https://twitter.com/PaulMainwood/status/1450892599242502144 …

    The vaccines have created fairly effective no-weeing lanes. Astonishing. pic.twitter.com/1rhsd88ZXv

        Updated! I'd guess the middle bump is the parents of the (much less vaccinated) children on the left getting a more breakthroughs, especially as they are also too young to have yet gotten boosters like the older folks on the right. ht @andrew_croxford.https://twitter.com/PaulMainwood/status/1454072198528962561 …

        Latest England ONS positivity rates with weekly gaps. The forest fire in the younger teens still blazing as of a week ago, with the secondary ripple in the 40s above 2% now. But ... anyone else seeing anything interesting on the right hand side? pic.twitter.com/ptcD8oKY8w

        That bump around age 40 is the set of parents?

        Forgive my ignorance, but how does it demonstrate dampening of transmission? I’d guess due to decrease in infection among the youngest, since they can’t actually be vaccinated?

        The vaccinated population is testing positive far less often. You can’t spread it if you don’t get it.

        Nowadays when I see a percentage I think about what the numerator and denominator are. It seems like this is saying there are a lot of younger people who are getting infected, but not the relative risk at each age, which would require grouping by age range?
