The vaccine still provides very high levels of protection against hospitalization and severe illness caused by the Delta variant, the ministry said. , Pfizer and BioNTech noted that while real-world data from Israel show vaccine efficacy in preventing infection and symptomatic disease to decline six months post-vaccination, “efficacy in preventing serious illnesses remains high.

. The study did not, for example, take the steps needed to rule out alternative explanations for the lower efficacy, such as bias in who is tested for Covid-19.

Misleading tittle. You should know better with your responsibility to inform.

Rip my mental health.

Taking a shot was to protect ourselves and others. I pray I and others continue to stay well. For those who have contracted the virus after taking the shot I pray for healing. Continued research & mask up.

When Russian media repost this they will accuse the of disinformation

susipudjiastuti Turun lagi. 😬

“Suggests” this is what science has become…

It's a lie

What about Moderna? How does that fair?

'Largely' means 88% effective against hospitalisation and 91% against severe COVID-19. And the confidence intervals are much tighter (about 80-95%), whereas the CI for infections/cases ranges from 9-59%.

Yesterday, it was 80% effective! Today it's 39%, tomorrow they'll tell us 115% effective ... This is becoming more like Gordon Ramsay's kitchen 🤣🤣

Follow the money

I think they saying for the one dose effective

Biden variant is coming across America. It’s still the same Covid virus but politicians and vaccine discovery companies are changing its name to variant Covid for not their butt to be kicked. Since they made a mistake by lifting mask too early. Politicians, FDA and CDC failing..

this is terrible news

Seems like a very low % to be forcing people to take it if they have legitimate concerns.

Israel wants more Pfizer vaccine but cheaper…
