SUMMARY:Monitoring Vaccine Effectiveness: can we trust results from partie
 s with a vested interest? - Roger Sewell

DESCRIPTION:Two observational methods are currently being used to monitor\
 n post-deployment vaccine effectiveness against infection: the obvious cru
 de method comparing rate of testing positive for infection per head of vac
 cinated population with that rate per head of unvaccinated population\; an
 d the test-negative case control (TNCC) method. The two methods give very 
 different results. Various parties' preference for choice of method appear
 s to broadly coincide with their vested interests in getting the result th
 at method gives. We want to know whether either method is reliable.\n\nWe 
 suggest how this question could be examined\, and will share what conclusi
 ons we reach.\n
