In this blog post, I go through the recent Israeli data in detail to explore what it tells us about efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine vs. severe disease with the Delta variant.

@MerrynSW Yes but the debt will remain fixed while modest inflation rates will grow house value and real value of debt will fall. Still a better option than renting in long term.
@MerrynSW@John_Stepek Well I’m retired and do rely on my state pension. Which is why the triple lock is so vital for me. It’s fine for couples, but not so much for single people, especially women. Does need reforming. The Australian system looks good to me.
@MerrynSW Not just about interest rates. As a first time buyer or sig upgrader would you buy now at the start of a falling market, or wait to see how far it will fall?
@mikecosgrove The australians seem to have a good pension system. Politically hard to discuss changes this side of election, but next government should have a go
@marydejevsky@NATO Indeed. Shame for Ukraine, but remember how hard UK had to fight for US at start of wwii. We had to endure repeated bombings by nazi aggressors. But economic strength and will to defeat the aggressor won in the end
@arusbridger@BBCNews Famous person seeks out young adults in teens for sexual purposes, then threatens them when they say they will expose him. We don’t want to watch this sort of person on tv.
@MerrynSW I actually think a top media person preying on young men (some still at school) and threatening them, is an important news story in the public interest
@rcolvile Mortgage rates being high is hardly news. We knew this was coming weeks ago. Let’s see the effect on the housing market and report that when it happens ( apart from high end london housing which we also already know about)
@JamRam96@MerrynSW The existence of a model suggests a degree of scientific approach which I actually doubt. Isn’t it just ‘well if we put rates up borrowers will have less money and economy will slow’. The specifics of who suffers or not don’t seem to matter.
@Dan___o_O No. Bbc should give out his name. Then no need to guess. Pressure on bbc to do this is good. If he has nothing to hide then fine, he should state his case
