expert reaction to preprint reanalysing study of real-world Pfizer vaccination outcomes after one dose from Israel
A preprint, an unpublished non-peer reviewed study, estimates the effectiveness of the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine after one dose by reanalysing a study of ‘real-world’ vaccination outcomes from Israel.
Dr Peter English, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control, Former Editor of Vaccines in Practice Magazine, Immediate past Chair of the BMA Public Health Medicine Committee, said:
“This preprint demonstrates an important aspect of good science: that researchers share their source data with others, so that others can reanalyse the data. This permits validation/verification (or repudiation) of the original scientists’ conclusions and also – as here – permits further conclusions to be drawn from the data, beyond those drawn (or published by) the original researchers.

Staff in these hotels should have had hospital grade PPE to begin with - to stop the infection from spreading out of quarantine, he said.
