This is cherry-picking numbers to make vaccines look ineffective. It focuses on attack rate, rather than the risk of hospitalization and death, and it ignores the importance of lowering the attack rate in slowing the overall spread of the virus.
Of course people publishing papers are responsible for the quality of the underlying data. If the data is bad, you don’t get to pretend it’s good. You write a paper describing how it is bad.
All true and accurate, and pertinent so long as you care 100% about whether you're infected or not, and 0% about whether your infection is of the kind that requires an ICU bed or not.
Feh.
Feh.
ARR is only relevant for specific study/time that in most cases is unknown property - you will have no idea what would be the epidemiological situation after 3 months for example.
