| de-facto | LjL, well yeah as all parameters in epidemics it has to be analyzed as comparison of incidence over time separated by age groups | 21:43 |
| de-facto | e.g. accumulating together all age groups in one big bucket will result in misinterpretations, especially when highly age dependent parameters (IFR, vaccination rate, probably even incidence itself) are working against each others | 21:45 |
| LjL | but it really beats me how you can have >85% efficacy in both groups but when you put them together it becomes 67% | 21:45 |
| LjL | i soooort of got it by reading the article on Simpson's paradox on the Simple English wikipedia ;( | 21:46 |
| LjL | not that english is the issue | 21:46 |
| de-facto | also these groups are differently weighted in the "all" category, e.g. there is a distribution of age | 21:52 |

| de-facto | look at that table in detail: all ages put together give 1 - (301/5634634)/(214/1302912) = 0,6748 | 22:06 |
| de-facto | but 290/301 = 0.9635 breakthroughs happened in >50 yo minority 186078/1116834 = 0,1666 hence the breakthrough attack rate will heavily overrepresent the elderly in all age cohort | 22:06 |
