joergactually both are the same authors (and study), as preprint and later in The Lancet which should give it _some_ credibility00:17

LjLjoerg, well see this reply to me https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/orjjhh/covid_fauci_says_us_heading_in_wrong_direction_as/h6iwjdc/?context=3  so maybe the Israeli data are simply bad, that doesn't seem impossible03:21
LjLhowever the UK is also producing this sort of numbers, and they are not doing double-blinded studies to get them03:21
LjL(i mean the same type of numbers, not the same numbers)03:21
LjLthey are getting them by comparing vaccinated people against unvaccinated people after adjusting for cohorts and other potential confounders03:21
LjLbut then i must say about this reply03:22
LjL> In my opinion, there isn't enough of a difference between the normal strain and the delta strain to cause that big of a drop off in effectiveness. The two strains are relatively similar and the differences wouldn't be enough to support Israel's numbers.03:22
LjLif someone can brush concerns off with their "opinion" that there isn't "enough of a difference" and Delta is "similar" enough that we shouldn't have a big difference in vaccine efficacy... well, i call that wishful thinking03:22
LjLthey said "several studies" contradicted what i provided, while providing none (could have easily linked to some UK data at least)03:22
LjLall that trying to respond to things is giving me is anger and tinnitus, so i'll probably be (or try to be) away from this channel for the next few days03:23

LjLwell he also does say "“The antibody titers are going down,” Dr. Sahin said, referring to the unit of measurement for antibodies against the virus. “The vaccine protection against the new variant is considerably lower.”" which doesn't sound great23:08

foojoerg: a bit delayed...23:21
foojoerg: but thank you.23:21
foojoerg: and FYI, I isolate fairly well - work remotely, camp and live out of my truck, sometimes weeks a month. If I am with people we're outdoors distanced or I'm indoors masked like 10ft from them23:21
foojoerg: I don't have a huge rush to get it. I do get the value of doing it for the community to minimize variants.23:21
fooI have had family members not let me into their homes because I'm not vaccinated (and whether or not I'm transparent about not seeing anyone for 2 weeks prior seems irrelevant... which is a bit irrational IMO)23:22
