Overall, discussions highlight the study’s importance, with many citing the 70% effectiveness figure and referencing authoritative sources like NEJM, which underscores a collective effort to understand and communicate vaccine performance against Omicron. The tone and choice of words reflect a serious, evidence-based engagement aimed at clarifying vaccine benefits despite challenges posed by the variant.
AgreementStrong agreement
Most discussions acknowledge the study's findings, supporting the vaccine’s moderate effectiveness against Omicron and emphasizing booster importance.
InterestHigh interest
Posts demonstrate high interest by citing specific data, studies, and official sources, showing engagement with detailed evidence.
EngagementHigh engagement
Discussions reference multiple studies, include direct quotes from research, and critique other claims, indicating deep involvement.
ImpactHigh impact
The widespread references to reputable publications and emphasis on vaccine efficacy suggest these discussions influence public perception and policy considerations.
Abstract in brief
The study evaluates how well the BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer) protects against the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in South Africa.
Results suggest the vaccine is less effective at preventing infection with Omicron compared to earlier variants, but still provides significant protection against severe illness and hospitalization.
The findings highlight the need for booster doses and continued monitoring of vaccine effectiveness as the virus evolves.]
さらに南アフリカでは、ワクチン接種後にも自然曝露によるbooster効果により免疫能が維持されている可能性がある点かと。

@wendymoo @latexsalesmen @MarkDavidsonAfr It’s base rate fallacy, survival bias and study design error in looking at the graph the way you have. Ie: you can’t look at this cross sectionally after a few waves of infection vs vaccination. Rather, this is what you do: https://t.co/oGAb8UzAwg; https://t.co/Mzy1tolMyb

@mmk56303682 @IDoNotConsent7 @waynerohde Even if the Vaccine was only 30% effective against preventing infection that still means you are less likely to be infected and less likely to infect other than not vaccinated at all https://t.co/gX8YUqKg4b
@P______Nguyen @CatCorn18364893 @DocLazris @TheEliKlein @The_OtherET @DrJBhattacharya @VPrasadMDMPH @louiebfree was still high during Delta, a bit lower for omicron
During the proxy omicron period, we found a vaccine effectiveness of 70% (95% confidence interval [CI], 62 to 76), a finding that was supported by the results of all sensitivity tests. https://t.co/90m6Du7Dn4
@TUFF_Movie @andrepphd @syaxmanxtha_da @Lewislama @atRachelGilmore and there are many studies which continue to show the vaccine is highly effective against severe illness, even for Omicron. The 12% claim was for kids and infection, not illness

They found about 70% against hospitalization with omicron, and 93% for preceding variants. This seems in the right ballpark. There are a lot of bogus studies pushing boosters that end up showing that 2x and 3x don't work ...
