      im prolly wrong but doesn't a "1.2-fold reduction in neutralising effect" basically mean it's less than half as effective against the delta variant?

      or is it just 20% less effective ugh just freakin use percentages or something science people :rage-cry:

      idk how fold change terminology works

          i believe it but at the same time does a "1-fold reduction" mean a -0% change? what if its going from like 3 fold to 2 fold would that still be called a "1-fold reduction"?

          why is this a thing why is this terminology real :rage-cry:

          Just to note, due to the nature of the technology used, they're also some of the safest vaccines. They lack the blood clotting or heart inflammation issues of the other vaccines.
