She is saying we need better vaccines. I'm all for that.
I'd want to hear exactly what she said. I have from the link provided and she didn't say what ellai actually said.
What do we know about covid and about the vaccines. Work in progress on the latest modified one.
Catch covid - well you can catch it again. Other than this happens so far I haven't found any info other than a couple of cases. One milder, another worse. Not UK generated so pass. I would assume how long antibodies in this case last has been studied. I've not seen numbers but ~80% of the population shows them. People in that group may come and go. It will take a while to find out.
The protection vaccines provide. The duration provided even varied when they were first available. Az worst. Omicron worse on all hence the new type being used for boosters. There appears to be an age relationship. The vaccine surveys gives info.
Transmission is a very difficult thing to test for. It needs a population going around doing it's normal thing where ever they happen to be and what ever they happen to be doing. The contact tracing had one way of looking at it - spread within a household but that bears little relationship to reality but did indicate an improvement.
Lastly NOS info. They sample a lot of people monthly. Initially this started to show a new wave starting. Then it levelled off and later started to fall and still is, The info is in spreadsheet form. Both the booster and natural may have caused this. Also the numbers that have been jabbed.
86% of 50 to 55 people have been vaccinated. Higher for older groups. 50+ puts people in the risk group and also waning immunity. 40+ - some have problems.
Vaccinated and unvaccinated finding themselves moved to intensive care can only be looked at statistically. Say in the general population 90% are and 10% aren't. The split in ITU should be the same. It isn't the unvaccinated is much higher,
A nurse that looks like will be marrying my son reckons that all that go into hospital who have been vaccinated have an easier time than those that haven't. Sure some still go in and some die but rather low numbers now,
So she feels even better vaccines are needed - well why not? Trouble is that it looks like protection doesn't last even when people catch it but I'd love to find info on that aspect. Bit like flu really.
