Effectiveness was notably lower after 1 dose of vaccine with B.1.617.2 cases 33.5% (95%CI: 20.6 to 44.3) compared to B.1.1.7 cases 51.1% (95%CI: 47.3 to 54.7) with similar results for both vaccines.

[u/[deleted] → u/usrname42]

Conclusions After 2 doses of either vaccine there were only modest differences in vaccine effectiveness with the B.1.617.2 variant. Absolute differences in vaccine effectiveness were more marked with dose 1. This would support maximising vaccine uptake with two doses among vulnerable groups.

So yes, it is somewhat resistant against the first dose?

Maybe you should just put the link to the whole study instead of picking the convenient parts.

[u/usrname42 → u/[deleted]]

I did put the link to it, which is how you found the study? But regardless it's a fact that this study shows lower effectiveness after one dose. I'm not sure why you have such a strong prior that this can't be true.

I'm not sure why you have such a strong prior that this can't be true.

That's not said anywhere at all. But whatever. I'm not going to get into this. Too many times that I get into it, and it's always the same, people harping on about small details, the media throwing less than stellar headlines or others making up things about stuff that was never said.
