Sure, protection from infection and hospitalisation appear better in the infected cohort...
BUT, what's sometimes missed is the actual numbers reflecting how we get to these pretty graphs...
193K infections, 309 hospitalised, 7 died
273k vaccinees, 15 hospitalised, 0 died

Other important points:
The vaccinated cohort included either one or two shots...we know from adults that three is best, so efficacy could theoretically be improved.
Vaccinating pre-infected kids improves protection, the authors recommend boosters for both vaxd & infected kids

In late 2020, the #JCVI of #England made two important recommendations for the initial roll-out of the #COVID19 vaccine.
1-Vaccines should be targeted to the elderly and vulnerable to maximally preventing disease rather than infection 1/

A new modelling study from England shows that targeting the most vulnerable had the biggest immediate impact (compared to targeting younger individuals who may be more responsible for transmission). 3/

1/3 Who decided that when considering #CovidVaccination for 5-12yr olds, the “impact on education” wasn’t a significant consideration?
Or that transmission to family (& teachers) shouldn’t be factored in to any decision?
Why was the remit of the #JCVI so limited?

If we consider the age groups of schoolchildren & their parents & the overall numbers of #COVID cases currently, the return to 🏴schools will almost certainly result in a rapid increase in infections that is avoidable, unnecessary & predictable.

We urge everyone eligible to take up this offer of a third vaccination, as it may provide valuable additional protection against COVID-19. (2/4)
However, we do advise that patients continue to practice caution, as vaccine efficacy may still be lower in people who have had a stem cell transplant and those with blood cancer. (3/4)
The ONLY WAY to make any sense of the changes to isolation policy, in combination w/ the removal of virtually all mitigations across 🏴society, is that the @PrimeMinister @sajidjavid & @10DowningStreet ACTIVELY WANT ppl to catch AND spread #coronavirus.

So, a 2005 blueprint to fight an #airborne #virus arriving in Britain was lost, filed away in Whitehall, and apparently never used.
Now uncovered, its recommendations included limiting travel and stopping ‘super-spreader’ events - lessons not learned.

The @Independent reports that 'the 2005 plan put together by the #DoH, warns of spread via “finer aerosols of infectious respiratory secretions, which stay in the air longer than droplets”, meaning it can be passed from one person to another through the nose, mouth or even eyes.'
With #DeltaVariant spreading rapidly among young people, and some evidence that it causes more severe disease, there is a growing argument for #vaccinating children, and at the same time wealthy nations ensuring they deliver #VaccineEquity for ALL nations.

Little doubt that relaxing control measures while the majority of the global population remains #unvaccinated risks the evolution of more transmissible, more virulent #variants. Variants that may be more dangerous for children & certain vulnerable groups.

The researchers warn that,
'Even in countries where #vaccination has reduced the numbers of hospitalizations and deaths, high case numbers and large numbers of unvaccinated individuals provide a mixing vessel in which new #variants can emerge.'

The objectives of vaccination usually boil down to either:

- and/or protecting populations.

We may use vaccinations to protect selected high risk groups, who are either at high risk of getting infected (e.g. healthcare workers) or spreading the infection (e.g. kids), or if the consequences of the infection are severe (e.g. the elderly or immunocompromised).

Das Bemerkenswerte an diesen Schätzungen ist, dass die Impfung nur einen sehr geringen Effekt (7,4 - 18,9 %) auf das Risiko hat, sich zu infizieren und anschließend Symptome zu entwickeln und das, obwohl sie einen erheblichen Schutz vor schweren Erkrankungen und Tod bietet.

A large number of people living with immunocompromise in UK & world feel left out in the cold re COVID19. Recently I have spoken with people in this boat, & they have urgent questions. I don’t have the answers, but I said I’d try & highlight their key Qs here for awareness 🧵 1/
Q1. What do antibody levels after vaccination mean? Can I get anti-spike antibodies on NHS, or which private provider? Can we have a website showing key providers and what the cut off points are? Is any “positive” antibody result good, or is a low positive worrying? 2/
The problem is that we don’t yet know what the antibody results mean, whether antibodies are enough & whether low antibodies are compensated by T cells & other mechanisms. We are waiting to study people with vaccine breakthrough infections, and this is slow 3/
