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

@redouad

Updated for the week of January 30th, 2022. Source for information above:

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. The data in all the charts is updated weekly (with the latest data available from the source).

You can click the “Change Age Group” button on the top-left to explore data for a specific age group.

•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.

Them: Is there any other vaccine in history that required three doses in a year and yet still didn’t prevent transmission of the virus it was meant to protect against?

Me: Your childhood vaccinations would like a word with you.

But wait, there’s more. Reminder that your TDap: Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (every 10 years) are technically a repetitive vaccine series or rather boosters during adulthood. In addition, for HPV, the recommended schedule is two doses given 6-12 months apart.

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.

A recent study out of South Africa 🇿🇦 shows:

Unvaccinated + Omicron = Immunity to Omicron ONLY

Vaccinated + Omicron = Immunity to Omicron, Delta, Beta, C.1.2, AND D614G!

Source for information above:
•medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Researchers found Omicron-triggered neutralization is NOT extensively cross-reactive to VOCs, with 20 to 43-fold reductions in titer. In contrast, vaccination followed by “breakthrough” Omicron infection improved cross-neutralization of VOCs, with titers EXCEEDING 1:2900.

Omicron meet Portugal, one of the world’s most vaccinated nations. Portugal has vaccinated ~90% of its total population. 🇵🇹
Don’t tell me vaccines don’t work.

NOTE: This graphic has now been updated to reflect data as of February 12th, 2022. ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-da…

Omicron hit Portugal in November, leading to an increase in cases. “Vaccination has been effective against it. That's why we have a much lower number of hospitalisations, fewer people in ICU and deaths.” -Prime Minister Antonio Costa reuters.com/business/healt…
