One statistical issue that's crossed my mind: In counties like the US that have been hit hard by COVID, a significant portion of the *unvaccinated* population will have some degree of immunity from a previous infection. That could make vaccines seem superficially less effective. — PolitiTweet.org

To throw a gauntlet down, a pretty simple test of whether news outlets like @nytimes actually care about getting the science right is if they report on this more rigorous UK study with >= fervor to the Provincetown study. — PolitiTweet.org

Why? Because in clinical trials, participants were required to have no known history of COVID infection. In real life, a lot of the unvaccinated/"control" group will have antibodies, however. Most studies I've seen don't adjust for this. https://t.co/jn3iJw982r https://t.co/GWZ4mZ44K6 — PolitiTweet.org
