For the next few months, there will be a daily blog posting "News of the Day", comprising links to things you may have missed.
Mostly about Covid, Climate, Books, Academia but, since it's mine to do what I like with, absolutely anything that catches my eye during a daily dip into newspapers (British and French). blogs, substacks and assorted web scrapings.
Today's offering is this link to one of the more important recent papers on "Covid". Norman Fenton, a professional statistician, who appears several times in my Covid Diary, is one of the authors. The paper explains the consequences of counting someone as "unvaccinated" for a number of days after the relevant injection (e.g. the apparently reasonable policy of waiting a few days "to let the vaccine have time to kick in"). Even if the "vaccine" does nothing at all (i.e. is a saline solution) adoption of this definition results in a wholly illusory high "vaccine efficacy" initially, fading until you apparently "need a booster".
Worth reading in full, as the saying goes.
