If you needed more proof that vaccines work, Switzerland is reporting COVID-19 deaths by vaccination/booster status.

H/T: Edouard Mathieu (@redouad) & Max Roser (@MaxCRoser)

NOTE: this is PER 100,000 people.

YES, the data is AGE-STANDARDIZED to account for the different vaccination rates of older and younger individuals. Partially vaccinated NOT included.

•Unvaccinated means 0 doses
•Fully vaccinated means 2 doses (Moderna or Pfizer) as soon as second dose is administered (therefore no delay)
•Booster means additional dose (Moderna or Pfizer) as soon as it is administered (therefore no delay)

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…

Compared to unvaccinated individuals, COVID-19 mortality rate here is:
•13X LOWER after full vaccination
•165X LOWER after booster

Once again, yes, the data is AGE-STANDARDIZED. For those asking for data collection period, please see the top of the graphic. COVID-19 WEEKLY death rate by vaccination status, all ages, January 8th 2022. This has been UPDATED.

“Breakthrough” infections DO NOT mean vaccines don’t work. Remember, they are preventatives, NOT cures. One can still contract COVID once vaccinated. As long as that vaccine is preventing you from facing severe disease and worse, it IS working and doing what it was designed to.

The term infection refers to the virus entering and being detectable in your system regardless of whether OR NOT it makes you sick, whereas the term illness refers to the virus entering, being detectable in your system AND making you sick. It it important not to conflate the two.

The first thing to know about the COVID-19 vaccines is that they’re doing exactly what they were designed and authorized to do. Since the vaccines first started their rollout late last year, rates of COVID-19 disease have taken an unprecedented plunge among the immunized.

Guys, BA.2 isn’t new. It’s been around since last year. It’s a sub-lineage to BA.1. They’re both still Omicron. It isn’t expected to be any more severe or expected to cause another wave. It might just eventually replace BA.1. End of the day, still Omicron. Let’s not lose focus.

@PeacockFlu

Per @PeacockFlu: BA.2 shares a lot of mutations with BA.1, but it also has some differences. BA.2 also lacks the Spike Δ69-70 mutations. It means it does not cause S gene target failure. Remember the “stealth” version of Omicron? Yeah, that’s BA.2. theguardian.com/world/2021/dec…

Just so I can prove this isn’t necessarily new you can see here. BA.2 appears to be the major Omicron lineage in (part of) India and the Philippines and there is evidence it is growing compared to BA.1 in Denmark, UK, Germany and some other areas.

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.
