without context it is hard to make sense of this number. Does this mean 1.1% of COVID cases still result in death? Wasn't 1% about the guesstimated death rate already? What about in older age groups?
- Arnt 6y agoIt means that if you have two similar and equally large groups of people, except that one is unvaccinated and the other has received the pfizer/biontech vaccine, and 1000 people in the unvaccinated group dies from covid, then you may expect 11 people in the vaccinated group to die. That is, the vaccine prevents 989 of the 1000 deaths that you'd see if the vaccinated group were unvaccinated, leaving 11.
