> For example, an effectiveness of 40% means that incidence of infection in the three-dose cohort was 40% less than that in the two-dose cohort.
It’s a relative hazard ratio. % less likely to get COVID vs. the cohort with just the vaccine

They’re getting arrested because they promised Putin an unstoppable weapon and now he looks like a dumbass.
But whatever. Semantics at this point.
What is the purpose of arresting your missile scientists for treason? What’s your best case interpretation?
> These are specifically designed for ballistic threats, which are common, and their extreme effectiveness is precisely why Russia and China have invested in something else.
And
> Russia used hypersonic missiles against Ukraine” — alarming! The average member of the public, as well as many policymakers, now understand that these things are dangerous because they are just too fast to shoot down. Clearly something needs to be done… (sarcastic)
It really ought to make clear explicitly in the article that the missiles it referred to in the beginning are NOT what it spends the rest of the article discussing.
It confused me at least. Because, without doing further research, I assumed the Kinzhals must not be ballistic because they’re indirectly referenced in an article about maneuverable missiles!
The best case you can make for Russia is that the Kinzhal developers actually did commit treason but in a way that was unrelated to the Kinzhal missiles not being effective which is… laughable
Note also that they purposefully forbid videos of air defenses to avoid showing where air defenses are.
At least one Kinzhal was confirmed shot down earlier before the wave of 6 or so.
*have been stopped
It’s a good article. But the reality is that the Russian missiles making headlines don’t meet the specs of the article. Ukraine is shooting them down just fine using decades old technology.
Or at least it ought not to be
I’m amused that the plaintiff is complaining over $170. A tiny sum for a whale in the scheme of things.
> Oh, they will almost inevitably do something, somewhere. But the fact that they managed to retake a lightly-defended area that one time gives people all kinds of crazy ideas.
That lightly defended area was 12000 km.
Edit: the Russia being out of ammo thing was an internal politics thing of Prigozhin claiming Russia MoD was not supplying Wagner with enough ammo. It was not a western talking point. Nor was it particularly true.
