My pal takes them as long as his Doc tells him to keep taking them. His attitude is, "I'm all in with the jabs and flu shots." I know watty said the same thing. The sad part is my pal never took my advice to eat healthy, stop drinking so much and exercise. He's super rich and super afraid. He's also sick all the time.I was shopping at the Smart n Final by my house the other day and two of the ladies working the checkstands were talking. One was saying she's about to get her 8th booster. WTH?!?! She said she gets every booster that comes out. The other co-worker shook her head as the one getting all the shots walked away.
Curious... is there enough data now for you?Sample size is pretty darn small. Only 5% of participants were previously infected.
They were trying to draw conclusions from a sample size of 1220 previously infected but recently vaccinated patients. It is no surprise that they couldn’t get a significant result. The study was completely underpowered.
This is why their confidence interval was “0 to infinity” for the previously infected group. The data didn’t say anything this time.
You’d need a considerably larger study to say anything other than “we don’t know.”. Preferably in India, where you can find out about the value of the vaccine against a new variant.
I really wish they would stop printed underpowered studies as proof of a negative. There is a statistical standard for demonstrating the lack of a correlation. This study does not meet it.
