definitions of "efficacy" and explanations of the concept of odds-ratio testing would be some good info to have in the OP, where's the goonsheet have we compiled something there?

3. Who gets CoViD?

5. Why is CoViD?

As much as I hate it, the New York Times vaccine tracker is probably the best source for efficacy and what vaccines do what:

What's interesting is that since the old thread was made so long ago it was protected from the rules governing Covid threads that were put in place later. This one now has to follow the updated Covid rules, such as "no doomerism" and immediate bans for anyone who spreads misinformation that contradicts CDC guidance.

jesus did they get sick just in the last week too?

I didn't ask so as to not add to my friend's already sky-high level of anxiety(they volunteered the info on fb), but that district is not LAUSD and has anti-mask and anti-vax teachers as well as a reasonably chuddy parent contingent

so, who knows

sadly the kids are all super aware of how bad things are and incredibly depressed about everything because they realize their parents are idiots

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
Asked my principal today what contingencies were in place for outbreaks. The basic answer was that the district just wants us to power through it; no virtual school even considered. I'm at a middle/high school in a terribly unvaccinated county. We, thankfully, do have a mask mandate but that's about it. We'll have seventy more kids than we did two years ago.

Israel needs to start making GBS threads out detailed info on Shot 3 breakthroughs and if they're symptomatic

That's very important right now and in the immediate future - if they're all asymptomatic, then we need to open the gates and boost everyone

sure that's a good resource but this isn't what I'm talking about though, I'm talking about the statistics of risk and how they're derived, so goons can have an ACTUAL idea of what "efficacy" and "risk" mean.

Because 90% Efficacy does not mean you are 90% Proof against infection regardless of (innumerable other variables)
