A very encouraging analysis of the data of the vaccinated in Israel: According to an estimate published by Prof. Ms. Dvir Aran of the Technion, immunization prevents the infection of others at rates of between 66% and 85%, and prevents serious illness with an efficiency of between 87% and 96%.
The analysis is based on immunization data in Israel, compared to people of the same age group who were not vaccinated.
This is a complex comparison based on a set of parameters.
"In the lab you actually control all the parameters, but in life there are people who felt safe walking around after the second vaccine even though they were in the risk group, there are people who were more careful between the second and first dose, and there are also people in the general population who were more careful and people less careful," Arne explains. Israel today".
"Therefore determining the effectiveness of the vaccine is a very complex matter. I collected all the data about all the infected, I deciphered from them who infected, if he was vaccinated, if he was already after the second dose and so on - and on this basis I showed the effectiveness range. In relation to a person who has not been vaccinated. "
"The calculation of the effectiveness for the verified one week after the second dose continues to remain similar and stands at about 87%. It should be mentioned that there are many variables that can affect the result. In all graphs we see a jump in efficiency immediately after the second dose, so there are two options: 1. The second dose Effective immediately. 2. The first dose is effective only after about three weeks. "
Arn concludes and emphasizes that "the analysis clearly shows that vaccines are particularly effective. Go vaccinate!"
