There was a study on Delta released recently that said 50-60% effectiveness for vaccine (forget which one) -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:02 9
- and if vacccines just reduce symptoms, there could be a lot of people who are out and about, contagious, with "I just have a headache" as symptom. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 9, 09:13 3
  - yeah, the fact that (it appears) vaccinated people can spread Delta has me mask-happy indoors again -- nm - ty97 Aug 9, 09:22 2
    - *infected* vaccinated people - oblique Aug 9, 09:23 1
      - oh of course, the vaccinated people would need to themselves be infected. - ty97 Aug 9, 09:34
- UK study -- nm - Epiphany Aug 9, 09:04
- Couple this with the roughly 6% per 2 months effectiveness drop of the vaccine also. The longer this drags, the more we will see vaccination be less - oblique Aug 9, 09:03 3
  - I had no heard about this. Why did no one tell about this? - sycor Aug 9, 09:12 1
    - We are over a year now from the first trial recipients. Even if we accept that this is an annual vaccine, we are already at the point - oblique Aug 9, 09:21
  - some countries (Israel, etc) are already giving third shot/boosters to seniors who got their first shots 6 months or more ago. -- nm* - Andie Aug 9, 09:06
Something to keep in mind, as a higher % of people become vaccinated, the % of people in hospitals who have been vaccinated will also rise - oblique Aug 9, 09:02
