Both my mum and my dad have had their first shots. They'll both have their second shots by May. Pleasant bit of relief.

What’s the latest you can get a second shot?

The AZ one is 70% efficacy after 1 dose, stops 67% of transmissions and is 82% after two doses (12 weeks apart).
On younger people it seems to be up to 92% efficacy.
UK gov have somehow got everything right on vaccines
The news came as an Israeli study, published in The Lancet on Friday, found that a single shot of the two-dose jab was 85 per cent effective in a further boost for BioNTech/Pfizer’s vaccine.
It also builds on a lab study that found that 91 per cent of doctors and nurses had a strong antibody response three weeks after receiving their first shot.

By batong_skating Go To PostHave to milk the cows for that swiss chocolate.Actually true. Well she doesn't do the milking per se that is automated.
And the model comes with some other caveats. Much is still unknown about how long immunity from vaccines will last, or how well the vaccines will protect against new variants of the virus. The estimates also assume that the vaccine prevents infection rather than just reducing the severity of coronavirus symptoms.NYT did an estimate of when we might reach herd immunity depending on pace of vaccine distribution in US: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/02/20/us/us-herd-immunity-covid.html

"herd immunity" was never a dirty phrase, but the means to get there was obviously very much bullshit
By Pac-12 Go To Post"herd immunity" was never a dirty phrase, but the means to get there was obviously very much bullshitThere was definitely a misunderstanding by much of the media that that term meant a certain percentage of the population was infected without the consideration that's still the same phrase used for an effective vaccine. I somewhat understand it because at that time that's what the discussion around it was implying, even if technically wrong.
Just saw the story behind AstraZeneca and Bill Gates philanthropy foundation, what a fucking shit show.
