What I've been looking for for a long time now is data on infection, hospitalization rates and mortality by vaccination status and age. They all get mixed and it's never really clear to me what the risk for, say, a vaccinated 40 year old or an unvaccinated 1 year old really is.
- nradov 5y agoThe CDC estimated an infection fatality rate of 0.001% for ages 0-17. The risk rises exponentially with age. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm Of those children who died, the majority had serious underlying health conditions such as obesity or asthma. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7023e1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7023e1.htm This paper has some good recent data on vaccine effectiveness. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2108891 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2108891
