The booster group than in the nonbooster group by a factor of 11.3 and the rate of severe illness was lower by a factor of 1.5. let's take a closer look at that slide. as can you see going from the left to the right are the days since the booster vaccination. and as you can see somewhere around 12 days from that third shot booster, you see an increase in protection against confirmed infection in the booster group compared with the nonbooster group. next slide. what about severe disease? here again in a study from israel individuals aged 60 or older and a per 100,000 population. on the left par...

Received two shots and what they saw is that the rates of confirmed infection dropped by 11.3 times. and the rate of severe illness by 19.5 times. but again, this was just starting at 12 days after the booster. which may not be very much time. the big question is what does that sort of protection look like long term. are you getting a lot of protection and really bolstering up the walls of protection for a short period of time and then it sort of wains off over time again or does it actually create a longer durable level of protection as a result of the boost.or does it actually creat longer d...

Intervals, how confident are you in the number there. you can see that the confidence intervals overlap a lot which means that the data is pretty muddy there. and i think that's what the fda, you know, panel is going to have to sort of sift through. quickly, there was a study that came out of the new england journal of medicine. now that boosters were given in israel, what they found was 12 days, starting 12 days after, they seem to reduce the rate of confirmed infections by 11.3 times. rate of severe illness by close to 20 times. but again, 12 days after, is that enough time to really see if ...
