That article was fairer than most in touching on the good & the bad, I commend them for their honesty. What was missing (and I really hoped they’d cover it) were statistics about:
- early (low cost) intervention & how it dramatically reduces hospitalizations
- how natural immunities (those with t-cells, b-cells or antibodies from previous infections) prevent re-infections
- the viralogical science of mutations, including a consideration of how the narrowly defined community protection against the original version of the virus via vaccine has encouraged the more contagious mutation (currently delta)… and how a community with higher vaccination rates, but lower natural immunities fairs against delta (and vice versa)
Remember “community” refers to how the community is effected, as opposed to the individual.
All in all a well researched piece of statistical analysis… with more questions than answers.
