I appreciate you pointing out that many people who quote these stats seem to forget to observe that there is and has been a reduction in case severity for the vaccines. It is a shame because it's kind of disingenuous, yet there are legitimate counter factors: when you take into account vaccine injury, "partial" vaccinees, and in many places failure to offer early treatment.

It means that these severe case stats are correct, but may still be a losing proposition when net effect is compared to early treatment. Unfortunately it's a difficult or impossible analysis to make, and this forms a difficult wedge in discussions of efficacy.. and it makes it too easy to discount many authors like alex

Yup. I think I might be becoming an old timey anti-vaxxer. It’s a weird thing. I feel like I’m admitting to being a Nazi.

This idea that you are 4 times more likely to be infected with omicron if you have been vaccinated ( Denmark)…how about you are just 4 times more likely to be infected with anything ? I’m thinking about the vaccines as they apply to the immune system generally and not as they apply specifically to covid. Just a thought.

Also I really like your cool headed-ness. You’ve a nice anti-hysteria quality about your outlook. It’s needed.

Many thanks,

Ryk
