>>13631963>>13631973Although I only skimmed the article, that's due to the fact the vast majority of people vaccinated in that country did it too late to gather sufficient data for those timescales. Since this is a preprint, it'll most likely be updated, or addressed by later research.
>>13632015Especially with the later ones, my guess would be that those vaccinated that early were elderly etc, which have a higher chance of infection anyway.
>>13631998I don't agree with the media narrative of vaccines in the sense of "get vaccinated and it'll make everyone safe, do it repeatedly etc." I'm saying this article is an argument for such a view.
>>13632013I agree. Society level vaccinations are a band-aid of inadequate healthcare systems worldwide, especially considering the likely increase of pandemic frequency in the medium to long term future. We can't expect to develop a good enough vaccine every time. Of course, in the short term, COVID will most likely reach flu status of yearly outbreaks etc and there will be a vaccine for it along with the one for the flu. I personally got vaxxed because I'm in a shithole country where retards go around infected to the point that I'm gonna get infected sooner or later, and I made a bet that there's a lower chance of the 'murican jab giving me blood clots than the chink virus fucking up my lungs. It's true that the vast majority of hospitalizations are unvaccinated tho. So even if it won't slow down the pandemic per se, a high rate of vaccinations might clear hospital space. Would be better to just let them die naturally, but what can you do.
