I might have misunderstood your post, but I'll point out that many people do not (more likely will not) have a Facebook account and won't even visit the site if they don't have an account. An alternative link is useful for those kind of people.

Here's a plain link https://www.businessinsider.com/pfizer-covid-19-vaccine-gains-full-fda-approval-2021-8 but you can't read it if you have an ad-blocker...

@Johnno260 - please go back and play on the anti-vaxxers thread (I know you are not one) but this is a 'vaccine' thread not a rubbish on Fb thread.
For those interested @aferris2 has offered the link to the businessinsider article itself.

I was trying to link the actual report about the vaccine being totally FDA approved, sorry I copied the incorrect link.

I wasn’t posting anything anti vax at all sorry.

Edit: I got it correct in the other thread I have no idea how I posted the FB link.

Perhaps go back and edit the Fb insert/link / delete?

I made it the direct link now, sorry I did that.

Hopefully the other vaccines will be close behind now, something to be celebrated with regards to modern medicine for sure.

Hopefully if the media report this heavily it will help some people who were hesitant.

Zoe data is often all over the place and I'm highly sceptical of their ability to quantify to that level. Plus protection against what exactly, and what are the confidence limits?

Any chance of a link to the actual study rather than the press release?

Excellent thread from academic on vaccine efficacy vs Delta.

Summary: don't panic. Still good.

Sadly, it has not yet appeared on https://covid.joinzoe.com/blog and the reports I've seen so far do not mention a publication.

I found this article:
www.barrons.com/amp/articles/pfizer-covid-vaccine-efficacy-delta-variant-51629378855

The Oxford study is a link within that article but this is the direct link:
https://www.ndm.ox.ac.uk/files/coro...ction-survey/finalfinalcombinedve20210816.pdf

It does state the study has not been peer reviewed.

Medical academics are sceptical.
Think this gives a useful insight: https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/...e-zoe-app-on-vaccine-effectiveness-over-time/
“The claim that immunity levels will hit around 50% by Christmas is not based on any robust analysis of data, and seems more like a finger in the air prediction."
