Solid writeup about the Duke data. I think the acid test has to occur in older pops though. In the same vein did you see the Axios story and the horrific CDC writeup it was based on out of Marin County CA?

Buried in the CDC writeup where they (and axios) castigate the evil unvaxxed teacher is this gem,

"Among the five infected adults, one parent and the teacher were unvaccinated; the others were fully vaccinated. The vaccinated adults and one unvaccinated adult were symptomatic with fever, chills, cough, headache, and loss of smell. No other school staff members reported becoming ill. No persons infected in this outbreak were hospitalized."

So 2 unvaxxed adults got infected (with the unvaxxed teacher being the proximal case) & 3 FULLY VAXXED adults got infected. None died and zero difference in reported outcomes. Granted small outbreak here, but the way this data is being handled makes me want to puke.

It's also totally outdated anyway - the dynamics of spread in May and June no longer apply. So "weird" that the study, which represents an entire apparent hour of labor, is appearing now.
