So apparently all of the people in Sydney Covid intensive care are vaccinated.
Now there's some food for thought.
Where did we land with this? Are you satisfied that people in ICU were unvaccinated at the time? I read something earlier today where they mentioned that towards the end of the speech it was clarified that he mis-spoke.
I am actually interested in how this pans out. Clearly we get more cases in ICU over time and the breakdown of vaccinated versus unvaccinated would be interesting to show a trend.
On the face of it it would be hard to separate the vulnerable and pre-existing conditions to see what the effect was, but if you see certain data it would be more meaningful. In other words if you saw people that were otherwise healthy getting Covid and ending up in ICU, the proportion of vaccinated versus unvaccinated would be more meaningful.
I didn't follow it up.
If they're unvaccinated, it makes sense.
If they're vaccinated, it also makes sense.
Well, if it helps you at all, it was the opposite of what that clip showed. All of them were unvaccinated except for the one that had one shot.
Why do you say that it makes sense if they are vaccinated? I understand why it makes sense if they are unvaccinated, but I don't understand your point of view.
As in... There's nothing stopping Gamma.

Abstract
An outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 caused by the Gamma variant of concern infected 24/44 (55%) employees of a gold mine in French Guiana (87% symptomatic, no severe forms). The attack rate was 60% (15/25) among fully vaccinated miners and 75% (3/4) among unvaccinated miners without a history of infection.

Yeah, no doubt we will end up with strains where the vaccine does little or nothing at all. Logic suggests that if you have a lot of people vaccinated but still a pool of infected people, the only strains that can do well are the ones that aren't targeted by your body which has been trained by various vaccines.
I think from the get-go people have said it will end up requiring booster shots as the virus changes. Lets hope it morphs into one where its relatively benign and needs no vaccine.
It is interesting on your data that the vaccinated still seem to have some protection, albeit not that much. Its also good to see them separate out those that have previously been infected to make the data more useful.
I wonder if it still means there is a benefit of being vaccinated? Are these people that are vaccinated seeing less severe reactions? I guess we will see that data over time.
