Japan Times: Anecdotes tell us what the data can’t: Vaccinated people appear to be getting the coronavirus at a surprisingly high rate. But exactly how often isn’t clear, nor is it certain how likely they are to spread the virus to others. And now, there’s growing concern that vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought.

Is it the data can't tell us - or won't?

There’s a dearth of scientific studies with concrete answers, leaving U.S. policymakers and corporate executives to formulate plans based on fragmented information. While some are renewing mask mandates or delaying office reopenings, others cite the lack of clarity to justify staying the course. It can all feel like a mess.

So why is there a dearth of studies? It's kinda serious i would have thought. If the vaccines don't work then giving people a false sense of protection is dangerous. Not to mention the old problem of partially effective vaccines driving the the virus to mutate.

At least there was an article about in Japan Times. You would never see anything like that in Australian media. Instead all the talk in Australia is how only the vaxxed will be allowed to enter pubs, sporting venues etc. That might backfire spectacularly if there's a surge in infections amongst the vaxxed.

You wonder what's the next trick if, as is looking increasingly likely, vaccines fail. This is where the lack of effort put into normal medicines such as antivirals will come back to bite. Surely there has to be a change there.
