Recent data ( https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/medicine/articles/10.3389/fmed.2024.1495428/full https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/medicine/articles/10.33... ) suggests that any lives saved may only have been saved in the medium term;
"In the medium-term post-COVID period, the risk of death was reduced by 8% for those who had been vaccinated while in the long-term post-COVID period, the risk of death almost doubled for those who had been vaccinated. While in the medium term, there was a reduction in mortality risk for those who took two or three doses, in the long term the risk of death was greater for those who took one or two doses."
- Retric 2y agoAll lives are only saved in the medium term, humans age and die. > the risk of death almost doubled for those who had been vaccinated Not when you adjust for age. People who survived COVID after vaccination being an older population then end up dying faster, but few people die in any given year. Doubling the base death rate suggests the populations will equalize in roughly 35 years. Though some people who survived the vaccine will still be alive in 40 years. PS: The 8% decrease and doubling are looking at wildly different underlying populations/rates.
- cempaka 2y agoAll of the data that would be needed to answer this question is hopelessly confounded and corrupted. There wasn't even reliable tracking of the highly gamed definition of "vaccinated" in the first place. The only real control group that ever existed was in the manufacturers' trials, and the only thing they attempted to measure was prevention of symptomatic infection.
