Some evidence that the protection of the Covid19 vaccine wanes comes from observational studies — and so we must view our inferences critically, says Jeffrey Morris, PhD. In everyday life, participants aren’t randomized to account for different ages, behaviors, etc. We need careful modelling and thorough data “to de-convolve all these things.”
To understand health and disease today, we need new thinking and novel science —the kind we create when multiple disciplines work together from the ground up. That is why this department has put forward a bold vision in population-health science: a single academic home for biostatistics, epidemiology and informatics.
