de-factopeople are not used to think for themselves nowadays, they rather outsource that task to someone else and only repeat what they heard from someone they dont even know by first name, sad.00:52
de-factoi think it may be partly the fault of the school systems, them rewarding blindly repeating some "knowledge" without understanding or interpreting its semantics or transferring the abstract construct behind a concept on some new environment or problem00:56
LjLde-facto, i suppose i'm guilty of that sometimes, but like... the way they go "if it's more infectious it lessens its effectiveness or deadliness or symptoms [which of these?!] that's my understanding, anyway!" clearly that can't be an "understanding", it's just a (flawed) notion00:56
LjLde-facto, to be fair i was always rewarded in school for coming up with things by thinking without actually having studied what i was meant to :P00:57
LjLbut then again i'm fucked up in multiple ways so, while i don't blame the school system, it didn't work out very well in the end00:57
de-factoyeah thats what i meant, them having heard somewhere at some time that "if a virus becomes more infectious it is less severe" without any clue about why that might be the case they repeat that mantra00:58
de-factothat it might have to do with the moment where most transmission takes place in the disease trajectory from infection to symptomatic to severe (e.g. pre-symptomatic, symptomatic, whatever), that there might be a dependence on the way it transmits (e.g. respiratory disease, fectal oral route etc) and that there might be consequences from severity in terms of efforts put into containment (e.g. symptomatic stay isolated etc)01:02
de-factothat it strongly depends on the virus properties and that different pathogens are not comparable in such a generalized way etc pp01:04
BrainstormUpdates for Colombia: +14941 cases (now 1.6 million), +236 deaths (now 41690) since a day ago01:05

deadQuestion regarding mRNA-1273 (Moderna vaccine) as can be seen on page 20 of this PDF: https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/acip/meetings/downloads/slides-2020-12/slides-12-19/02-COVID-Miller.pdf the percentage of covid cases in the placebo group was 1.3% and the percentage of covid cases in the vaccine group was 0.1% -- this is a difference of roughly 1.2% in absolute effectiveness in the trial. In other words bei08:27
deadng in the vaccine group gave you a 1% improved chance of NOT getting covid19 vs the placebo08:27
deadnow explain to me why we are selling this lie of 94% effectiveness. That is based on the total number of cases observed, which only 11 happened to fall into the vaccine group08:27
BrainstormNew from BBC Health: Covid-19: Millions wake up to tighter coronavirus restrictions: More areas in England enter tier four, as lockdowns begin in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. → https://is.gd/gTf2Ve08:27
deadefficacy does not mean effectiveness08:27
deadthis is not valid when you are relying on the people in the trial to just organicly contract sars-cov-2 and develop covid1908:28
de-facto[m]dead:  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine_efficacy08:33
deadyes i know what efficacy is08:33
deadthe general public does not08:34
deadthey think this means effectiveness08:34
deadyou see though how being in the placebo group is only 1% less effective at not getting covid19 right?08:34
de-facto[m]please read the article especially Vaccine efficacy formula08:36
deadi've read it08:36
deadi understand what efficacy means, thats not my issue08:36
deadthe vaccine has 94.1% efficacy, yes08:36
deadbased on that trial which i linked above08:36
deadlook at page 20 of that trial, and you will see the number of cases of covid19 in placebo group: 185, 1.3% of total group08:37
deadnumber of cases in vaccine group: 11, .1% of total vaccine group08:37
deadYou understand that not everyone in the placebo group got covid19 right?08:38
deadonly 185 people out of 14 thousand08:38
deadso being in the placebo group you only have a 1.3% chance of getting covid08:38
deadaccording to those numbers08:38
deaddo you disagree with this conclusion?08:38
de-facto[m]Attack rate is ratio of actual cases to potentially susveptible08:40
de-facto[m]So ARU = PlaceboCases / PlaceboGroupSize, ARV = VaccinatedCases / VaccinatedGroupSize, VaccineEfficacy = 100% (ARU - ARV) / ARU08:43
BrainstormUpdates for Belgium: +2342 cases (now 637246), +51 deaths (now 19089) since a day ago08:43
deadright, and?08:44
de-facto[m]They do that with ditting statistical distributions08:44
de-facto[m]fitting08:45
de-facto[m]Your conclusion you stated above is wrong08:47
de-facto[m]About that 1%08:47
deadin what regard08:47
deadin pure propability, you have a .1% chance of getting covid19 in vaccine group, and a 1.3% chance in the placebo group. Subtracing those you get roughly 1.2% difference08:49
de-facto[m]You have to divide by the unvaccinated attack rate08:49
de-facto[m]Then times 100%08:49
deadwhy? im not calculating efficacy08:49
deadthis is just chance08:49
de-facto[m]because the number of interest is how many of potentiall cases can be prevented from happening08:51
deadthe science used, doesn't isolate the vaccine as a variable08:51
de-facto[m]variable?08:51
deadthe conclusion is that the vaccine reduced case count, in the vaccine group08:52
deadbut how is that proven?08:52
deadthere is plenty of reason to believe it could be other causes08:52
deadsuch as the people in the vaccine group, simply didn't contract sars-cov-2 at the same rate as those in the placebo group08:52
de-facto[m]With comparing ti the placebo group under same xonditio s08:52
deadthese people were not kept in a locked cage or anything, they were living their normal lives08:52
deadthe conditions were not the same08:52
deadby any stretch08:52
deadthis is 30000 people living normal lives in diverse areas08:53
deadtheir exposure rate is not the same08:53
de-facto[m]Transmission prevention vs disease prevention is an open question indeed08:53
deadthe groups were chosen randomly which definitely will help but still not perfect08:53
deadyeah this vaccine only stop sthe disease, not transmission.08:53
de-facto[m]Hence group size to average out08:54
de-facto[m]Its unknown to what degree it prevenrs transmission, there are good hopes it wilk stop that to some degree too08:54
deadscience should not be based on hope and good intentions08:56

DocScrutinizer05dead: seems you are mistaken on the general concept of double blind studies and vaccination08:58
de-facto[m]We will know such numbers in humans soon probably08:58

DocScrutinizer05ohmy09:08
DocScrutinizer05what's so hard with understanding the concept that with a 95% effective vaccination I'm twenty times less likely to contract the virus in a certain situation, compared to a person that did not receive vaccination?09:10
DocScrutinizer05random statistical noise bias between two completely random cohorts from identical location with a size in the 10s of k? very very very unlikely09:13

DocScrutinizer05patience11:34
de-factoIn Germany we will have up to 1.3M doses till end of 2020, in Janurary about ~0.7M doses each week, hence over 10M BioNTech and 1.5M Moderna doses in first quarter of 202111:34
de-factoif other vaccine candidates will get approved we may achieve to offer everyone a vaccination beginning in mid 202111:34
de-factoCOVID vaccinations are a offer: free of costs and remains voluntarily, the clear goal is to take any chance of transmission from the virus11:34
DocScrutinizer05mission "Aermel hoch!"11:37
de-factohence if we have 8M people in the first priority group each in need of two doses we would need 16M doses for those, so 14.7M = 16M - 1.3M in begin of 2021, so if we had 0.7M doses each week in 2021 those would need 14.7M / 0.7M = 21 weeks or till 2021-05-2811:38

DocScrutinizer05possibly11:51
DocScrutinizer05then, a signioficant fraction of those >80 will not be interested in getting vaccinated, particularly early on11:53
DocScrutinizer05I hope that fraction to be rather small, but we'll see...11:53
DocScrutinizer05then otoh it's maybe a useful message when a significant fraction *can't* get vaccinated so the need to mandatory mask wearing etc until *everybody* else got vaccinated is more clear and obvious11:56
