A single shot of the vaccine produced by Pfizer led to a 57% reduction in cases of Covid-19 in people of age 80 and over, rising to 88% after a second dose, according to preliminary data from the U.K.’s inoculation program

LONDON—The U.K.’s rapid vaccine rollout contributed to a substantial drop in infections, hospitalizations and deaths from Covid-19, according to data that add toThe new information from the U.K., published Monday, is preliminary and hasn’t been reviewed by other scientists, but provides reasons for optimism that vaccines offer a route out of a pandemic that has claimed at least 2.5 million lives world-wide and sickened tens of millions.

The data suggest vaccines are most successful in preventing hospitalizations and deaths, a top concern of health authorities. While vaccines also suppress new infections, the effect isn’t as pronounced. The information appears to vindicate the U.K.’s policy of stretching limited vaccine supplies by delaying a second shot to up to 12 weeks after the first, while also emphasizing the extra protection that comes from a second shot.

The data include an analysis of the effect of vaccinations among the elderly, a study looking at infection among vaccinated and unvaccinated healthcare workers, and a broad look at vaccinations in Scotland that covered more than five million people.

So ridiculous. Death and hospitalizations are falling drastically all over the world. How can you attribute this to the vaccines.

Great so means no one under 80 needs this pointless vaccine

With all these percentages being thrown out like they’re doing something I’ll go ahead and stay steady with the fact more than 99% of people survive this. Fuck outta here

Aka: we don’t need masks after the vaccine

Sounds like freedom in a few months. This is going to be a better spring.

Good! That means there is absolutely no reason at all to vaccinate the young and healthy with the experimental vaccine! Focus on the old and frail and get back to life 👍🏼
