Report says protection against serious COVID-19 illness fell to 80%, or 50% for over-60s https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-study-claims-major-drop-in-vaccine-protection-experts-dont-believe-it/amp/ Fifteen of the 20 people who died this month were fully vaccinated. https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.jpost.com/health-science/coronavirus-in-israel-what-do-we-know-about-the-143-hospitalized-people-674508/amp
The article explains that the numbers are extrapolated from a small sample and are likely skewed as a result. There's no reason for concern here.
143 samples are a small but meaningful sample size, given the highest Pfizer rate in Israel
Only 3 of the vaccinated people required invasive treatment per your article. There's nothing to be concerned about here. The vaccines work.
60%+ in Israel is fully vaccinated and rest is not vaccinated. For hospitalization, 60% are vaccinated
I don’t mind taking booster shot..
2 dose Pfizer is 88% effective against symptomatic COVID (Delta variant). Even higher % protection against hospitalization and especially death. Source: https://globalnews.ca/news/8050563/pfizer-astrazeneca-vaccine-delta-variant/ Sorry OP, your fear mongering doesn't work on intelligent people.
I am a big vaccine proponent but OP’s concern is more valid than you give credit for. The claim specifically is that vaccine effectiveness is lower in sub-population (older than 60). Also waning immunity may murk up the picture you are trying to simplify to one number. Overall, there is insufficient evidence to require a booster and even the worst case claim here (50% effectiveness, which is likely too pessimistic) is terrific compared to where we would be without vaccines. The lower the effectiveness the more important it is that everyone gets vaccinated
Some hardcore mental gymnastics there but sure... a vaccine will compensate for years of unhealthy living
If “Fifteen of the 20 people who died this month were fully vaccinated”, then I don’t think we are going to go back to the office. Unless maybe those people are all very old
should take third shot or even more?
It has to be a monthly shot for it to be effective
Hourly shot
