Thank you. Now it makes sense.

How do they figure herd immunity into the calculation?

Weird. I’ve had the flu once in the past 20 years, and have only had the flu vaccine a couple times.

I think he is saying that how they define effectiveness is questionable.

I don't really understand it either. The real flu is rare, people maybe get it

Vaccine efficacy is the percentage reduction of disease in a vaccinated group of people compared to an unvaccinated

I’m not sure herd immunity applies to the flu since it changes every year and not a significant amount of the populace

So I've heard that they don't do studies since they think it would be unethical

From what I understand they are observational studies at many sites across the US using patients with PCR test positive
