Can you clarify by what you mean with regards to your quotes about children and the elderly? If vaccination does not confer benefits to children and elderly, wouldn't that imply that the herd effect from mass vaccination would in fact be good for them and those who cannot get the vaccine? Perhaps I am misunderstanding. Does the NTT being high for healthy adults (which is what the study measured) necessarily mean that there is no benefit for those who cannot get vaccinated? Your point is well taken regarding the study funding. Did you read the fantastic WaPo expose of GSK from a few months back?
