      Disconcerting to see many countries in Europe starting to heat up again, possibly reflecting, at least in part, some waning of vaccine effectivenesspic.twitter.com/Pf3ZGcW0Qg

      Replying to @EricTopol

      All European case numbers should include information about what percentage of new cases are in kids. Without that info, there's no way to tell whether the rise in cases actually reflects waning vax effectiveness, or is mainly driven by the unvaxxed.

      Good point, James. Many possible factors besides waning including kids, less mitigation, the residual unvaccinated population, etc.

      Waning can, no doubt, be a factor. It would presumably be reflected most in the older folks—who got vaccinated first. The below looks like unvaccinated kids and youngsters who are less vaccinated *and* socialize a lot more (clubs!) are driving most cases.https://twitter.com/vincentglad/status/1454142377552195585 …

      Yes, yikes to that. @girofox1, where is that chart from? Are the 60+ also looking like that?

      I think that graph is looking at 80+, not 60+ (at least that's what the highlights of the age groups suggests).

      It would be great to see the age breakdown, with vaccine type/date if they had it, preferably on a log scale. (Germany had AZ for 60+ iirc). As usual, we need systematic data other countries to make sense of things, Germany might be one.

          Why is any of this surprising to anyone? Has anyone here read some of the Substacks from folks just a bit off the mainstream circuit that look at public data without confirmation bias nor virtue signaling? And why counting cases still? 🤦🏻‍♂️

          It looks to be on the @rki_de website, but in German. Maybe @kakape can translate and illuminate
