New UK study of declining effectiveness (against infection) of the Pfizer vaccine

Story here; an excerpt:

DAYS SINCE SECOND DOSE EFFECTIVENESS AGAINST HIGH VIRAL BURDEN INFECTIONS
  Pfizer-BioNTech shot AstraZeneca shot
14 92% 69%
30 90% 67%
60 85% 65%
90 78% 61%

By roughly four and a half months after the second dose, Pfizer’s shot will probably be about on par with Astra’s at preventing infections with a high viral burden, said Koen Pouwels, an Oxford senior researcher who helped lead the study. There wasn’t a statistically significant difference in the Astra shot’s effectiveness over time.
