Pfizer and BioNTech's Covid-19 vaccine is just 39% effective against delta in Israel, but still provides strong protection against severe illness and hospitalization.
I feel like the infection rate is still important for the immunocompromised and those who otherwise can't take the vaccine. Like sure, if someone refuses the vaccine and gets owned, they get owned, but if you can't get the vaccine and get some morbidity & mortality, that feels bad.
Yeah, I exaggerated a bit there. While hospitalization and death rate are orders of magnitude more important than incidence rate (and it's not an either/or, since the vaccine is great at reducing all three!), the latter is still important.
"88% effectiveness against hospitalization and 91% effectiveness against severe illness"
all i care about lmao
It’s not all you should care about. Keeping the reproduction rate down is important if you care about those two things.
This is important for the volcel police to ensure there isn’t a spike in the reproduction rate
:sicko-blur: :yes-hahaha-yes-l:
A 1 in 10 chance of being hospitalized in a shithole country where hospital visits are financially ruinous is not good
It’s not a 1 in 10 of being hospitalized, it’s an 88% reduction vs not being vaccinated. it’s not like every unvaccinated person gets hospitalized.
Yeah so it basically adds a zero after the decimal
And it's all you should care about! Hospitalizations and deaths per case are much lower than they used to be thanks to the vaccine.
