recent data from CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, point out what experts in the field have tirelessly stressed in recent months: the vaccine prevents death in 99,999% of cases of COVID-19 (yes, you read that number correctly). The data come from the US states that already have advanced vaccination, and the CDC has been monitoring vaccinated people who contracted the disease and whether or not they were hospitalized since May. Other interesting notes were also made, for example, about the age of the patients. 683f46
Serious cases and hospitalization 6ln22
Until the 26th of July, the CDC reports that 6.587 cases of COVID-19 were recorded in individuals already vaccinated in the EUA. Of these, 6.239 people ended up in hospital, while 1.263 died. As of the reporting date, more than 163 million people had already been fully vaccinated against the new coronavirus in the North American country. Now, just do the math: dividing the number of severely infected vaccinated by the total vaccinated, we have 0,004% of them presenting a case of infection that led to hospitalization, and less than 0,001% of the vaccinated dying. Another important data informs that about 74% of these cases of post-vaccine infection happened in people aged 65 years or older.
It should be noted that obtaining the data is a bit complicated, given that not all states collect and present data in the same way — A Kaiser Family Foundation, for example, discovered that not all infections and deaths of people with all doses of the vaccine were due to COVID-19. Still, the data received from the states that carry out the monitoring still reinforces the effectiveness of the vaccine. In all states, the proportion of post-vaccine infections is below 1%, with hospitalizations ranging from zero to 0.06%. In other words, is very little.
What does it change? 5b1il
For those who were already following the recommended measures of isolation, distancing and wearing a mask until the time of vaccination, honestly, nothing changes. In the face of anti-vaccine movements, however, this can help convince people to go get vaccinated — especially in the United States. United States, where this type of idea is not reserved only for the vaccine COVID-19, but to any type of immunizer. Given that, in New York, the government is even paying 100 dollars for those who get vaccinated, let's say that the need for awareness and encouragement is great.
Furthermore, the CDC also showed, with studies, that the Delta variant da COVID-19 produces a similar amount of virus in vaccinated and unvaccinated people. While vaccinated people are less likely to contract COVID-19, after infection the chances of spreading the virus are very similar. The agency ended up modifying the recommendations on mask use because of this data, indicating that vaccinated in the US should still wear masks in environments where there is a possibility of spreading the virus.
Another analysis of Kaiser Family Foundation also found that more than 90% of cases (and more than 95% of hospitalizations and deaths) occurred among the unvaccinated, and in most states, more than 98% of cases occurred among those who did not receive the vaccine. COVID-19. To date, around 57,5% of the American population (over 12 years of age) has received at least one dose of the vaccine, and around 49,5% of the population is fully vaccinated. We hope that the data will only help these numbers increase — and, who knows, encourage inhabitants of other countries, like Brazil, to accept that a vaccine prevents death and suffering and it is our best weapon against the coronavirus.
To keep staying well-informed about vaccines, COVID-19 and technology as a whole, does not detach from the showmetech.
