NY Times: Is Vaccine immunity waning? -- (edited)

Posted by Inigo (aka Inigo) Aug 30 '21, 06:40

It most likely isn't significantly. It's just that people are being more irresponsible, mask mandates have been lifted, low vaccine rates in affected counties, and Delta is more contagious.

So, booster shots in September and October may not help much.

Responses:

It's another foolish headline and unusual in that the best information in the article is actually at the end. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 06:45 12
- How is it foolish? IMO, it's trying to come up with actual information. -- nm - Inigo Aug 30, 06:47 11
  - Headlines that are a question are irresponsible, unless they are editorials. They allow the reader to answer it before facts are even presented. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 06:50 10
    - In this case, it's trying to get people to re-think the assumption that vaccine immunity is waning. - Inigo Aug 30, 06:57 8
      - I'd agree with Qale in the way the headline is framed, it sounds like the answer is yes. - Dark Callisto Aug 30, 07:24 3
        
        Oh sure. I know for a fact that the author doesn’t write the headline unless they’re the most prestigious journalist. -- nm - Qale Aug 30, 07:29
        
        Yes to the subject and IM. Perhaps "Is vaccine immunity really waning?" would have worked better -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 07:26 1
        
        I guess I'm assuming the really where others aren't. -- nm - Inigo Aug 30, 07:29
      - It's catering to the antivaxxers. That's bad. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 07:11
      - It's fine that it's only a 5 or 6 for you. My comment was attaching it to the one NYT just did about how much Florida had done to combat COVID. - Qale Aug 30, 07:00 2
        
        I can see how it would be cumulative. I give the article writer a pass since I feel like he's trying to help the overall COVID issue. -- nm - Inigo Aug 30, 07:09 1
        
        Don't forget, headlines are written by the editors. -- nm - loosilu Aug 30, 07:50
    - This. -- nm - znufrii Aug 30, 06:51
I can't read the article but Israel's data does show it does. -- (link) - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 30, 06:45 3
- interesting. -- nm - Pippy Aug 30, 06:51
- Here's the text: - Inigo Aug 30, 06:49
- One thing that article addresses briefly but doesn't go into detail (likely because it hasn't been as deeply studied!) - Reagen Aug 30, 06:48
