The science is in the fine print

Sometimes it’s hard keeping up with the speed of science. However, it’s important to stay up to date for maximum vaccine effectiveness.

A new study published in Nature confirms what many have suspected all along. The Covid jabs are 95% effective, but only if you get them at lunchtime.

Also, they work better if you are completely healthy and don’t actually need them.

From The Conversation,

“COVID vaccines are very effective, but for some groups they don’t generate as strong an immune response. These groups include older adults and people with weakened immune systems, for example due to cancer or other medical conditions. They tend to already be at heightened risk from COVID.”

“Likewise, obesity – and its association with several other conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease – leads to an increased risk of severe COVID.”

“Weight loss may likewise improve vaccine responses, but we need more research to investigate.”
