YES, the data is AGE-STANDARDIZED to account for the different vaccination rates of older and younger individuals. Partially vaccinated NOT included. Compared to unvaccinated individuals, COVID-19 mortality rate here is:
•9X LOWER after full vaccination
•48X LOWER after booster
How do death rates from COVID-19 differ between people who are vaccinated and those who are not? Highly recommend a read. ourworldindata.org/covid-deaths-b…
Those asking for data collection period, please see the top of the graphic. COVID-19 WEEKLY death rate by vaccination status, all ages, January 1st 2022.

Wisconsin’s first case of Omicron was detected on December 4th, 2021 and became the dominant variant over Delta within four weeks so Omicron IS included in this analysis.

⚫️ Vaccine effectiveness versus hospitalization continues to remain strong now that Omicron is dominant in New York State
While I cannot sit and write 3000, here’s a few: Vaccines work. The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, AND death.

Just a heads up. Regarding “Deltacron” or the “new variant” out of Cyprus. Please be aware those sequences being reported by media outlets right now appear to be due to contamination. It is NOT a new variant.
Per @PeacockFlu “they do not cluster on a phylogenetic tree and have a whole artic primer sequencing amplicon of Omicron in an otherwise Delta backbone.”
When processing several COVID samples at the same time, procedural failures can occur, and contaminations between samples with different variants occur. As @wanderer_jasnah says, it is PCR recombination due to contamination. Usually computational analysis can detect these flaws.
A new analysis out of the CDC shows just how extremely effective COVID-19 vaccines are against COVID-19 associated hospitalization and death. Among 1,228,664 fully vaccinated individuals across the United States, 185 (0.015%) had severe illness and 36 (0.0033%) died. 🧵
Using data from 465 facilities in a large U.S. health care database, this study assessed the frequency of and risk factors for developing a severe COVID-19 outcome after completing a primary COVID-19 vaccination series, defined as receipt of 2 doses of an mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2
[Pfizer-BioNTech] or mRNA-1273 [Moderna]) or a single dose of JNJ-78436735 [Janssen (Johnson & Johnson)] ≥14 days before illness onset. Severe COVID-19 outcomes were defined as hospitalization with a diagnosis of acute respiratory failure, need for noninvasive ventilation (NIV),
