BrainstormNew from Marc Veldhoen on Mastodon: (news): People have good lymphocyte counts and functionality after COVID-19, have good immune responses, and can ward off SARS-CoV-2 better. This indicates a good functional immune system. People are not immunocompromised after COVID-19, and no supplements or treatments are needed. → https://mastodon.online/@marc_veld/11147205116639570717:18
BrainstormNew from Marc Veldhoen on Mastodon: (news): Reporting rates of myocarditis and pericarditis are less than 0.1% after COVID-19 vaccination. Highest for the BNT162b2, followed by the mRNA-1273 and Ad26.COV2.S. However, the reporting rates after vaccination remain less common than those seen for SARS-CoV-2 infection. → https://mastodon.online/@marc_veld/11147218975745368517:46
LjLUh, older reports had it much higher for Moderna than Pfizer17:47
LjLde-facto, ↑17:47
LjLoh, reporting rates using VAERS...17:48
LjLnot very useful is that17:48
LjLvery little numeric difference17:48
LjLThe reporting rates for myocarditis or pericarditis were 0.00073 (95% confidence interval, 95% CI 0.00069–0.00077), 0.00051 (95% CI 0.00047–0.00055), and 0.00005 events per dose (95% CI 0.00004–0.00006) for the BNT162b2 mRNA, mRNA-1273, and Ad26.COV2.S COVID-19 vaccines, respectively. Myocarditis and pericarditis were disproportionally reported following the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine when compared with the other vaccines, using both disproportionality measures.17:51
* LjL is perplexed17:51
LjLhow do you even get a confidence interval over people's reports?17:52
* LjL is clearly not a statistician17:52
