If someone can check my math, this seems like a perfect opportunity to do a statistical test. Sample sizes are too small to say that there is a difference between previous infection and no previous infection.
Given the contingency table:
No prior inf. Prior inf.
Infected 3 0
Uninfect 4 6
A Fisher Exact Test yields a p value of 0.1923. So there is not evidence that previously infected people are safe. Similarly, if we compare the attack rate in previous infections vs Pfizer, the p value is about 0.15, so there’s not evidence one is better than the other.
- xpe 5y agoWould you please label the rows and columns your table? This will help others check your work.
- bigcorp-slave 5y agoDone, thanks.
- fooofw 5y agoI think the "4" should be changed to a "1" yielding p = 0.0333. 4 is the total number of unvaccinated miners without prior infection.
- bigcorp-slave 5y agoYou are right, I misread the article and now it is too late to edit.
