It is a real problem indeed and I am surprised not more governments are doing something or announcing plans to assure people of the complications from vaccinations.

Not just vaccinations however that is the major issue at the moment.

i’m sure there are others on here in a similar position but we’ve had two people in my company test positive in the last two days. We are a small company (<25 employees) spread over the UK and have come through this whole thing unscathed until now. The two cases are unrelated; 1 in Manchester, the other in Glasgow but it does make you think about the infection rate etc.

I was immediately going to head to Table 5 but then I saw Table 10 and I didn’t know whether I wanted to be part of that or as far away from it as possible!

Great to see the figures improving so much in the UK. The UK figures now look very similar to those here in Spain so hopefully the flights optimistically booked for June will be able to go ahead

That’s good news - that’s the single dose vaccine. Having said that I’ve seen suggestions that AZ could also be viewed as a single dose vaccine given the efficacy it is currently showing after the first jab (it was originally intended to be single dose).
Good news if more vaccines can be passed as effective from one dose though as that will obviously free up capacity to vaccinate the world more widely.

It’s 99.2% at preventing serious disease but only 98.9% at preventing death? I don’t know about anyone else but I’d place death as being worse than serious disease.
“Sure there have been disease and deaths from coronavirus among those vaccinated but none of them serious” to misquote Alan Minter.

I see those data in a step ladder way. Its like out of 100 cases of Covid-19, it is 99.2% at preventing serious disease, and then out of those who got serious disease, it is then only 98.9% preventing death. Which to me means it is more effective at preventing serious disease but when you get seriously ill from it, the chance of you dying gets a little higher then the previous threshold of serious disease.
I think it’s just a chart with large % figures in it.

Wtf, please EU, please, please, please, encourage your people to take up the vaccines (regardless of which ones they’re offered!).
