[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The UK used Astra Zeneca which was not as effective as any of the three vaccines approved here on the original strain. And yet the UK is doing rather well.[/quote] The U.K. has used a combination of Pfizer, Moderna, and AZ. Most people I know actually got the “posh vaccines”…I got the AZ one though. They have not yet released any stats on which vax the people landing in hospital got. I suspect it’s AZ. [/quote] The data is here. Both pfizer and AZ are highly effective against hospitalization: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vaccines-highly-effective-against-hospitalisation-from-delta-variant This anti vaccine nonsense is irritating. “ The analysis suggests: the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is 96% effective against hospitalisation after 2 doses the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is 92% effective against hospitalisation after 2 doses These are comparable with vaccine effectiveness against hospitalisation from the Alpha variant.”[/quote] The only issue is the death rate is higher for vaccinated but we don't know why yet. Perhaps age. [/quote] There are a very small number of people who have a very poor immune system in general and don't generate an immune response to the vaccines or COVID itself. I would guess that this is what we are seeing here in the UK data. The absolute number are so small I'm not worried about it.[/quote]
