Visual: Vaccine Effect by Population, Cases, Deaths

Pretty good visual on how vaccination affects transmission and deaths.

Is that one shot, two shots, three shots or four shots?

BTW, new variant in Israel. 20 cases, so far. Supposedly, more variations than Omicron. Don't know the vaxxed status of the people who have this new sub-type.

@jolly At least 20 cases of Omicron sub-variant BA2 detected in Israel
Health Ministry says ‘no evidence’ new strain behaves differently from Omicron

I wonder why the efficacy of the vaccine decreases with age.

Is that because the immune system does not react adequately to the vaccine?

[bachophile]

The immune system has less robustness with age, add to that the greater percentage of people who may have compromised immunity, eg cancer, diabetes, etc…and u get a lower vaccine efficacy.

[jon-nyc]

That’s not just efficacy making that bottom right graph standout. The vaccination rates are very high in that age group, which alone would skew the share of death numbers even if efficacy were identical across age groups.

Would love to see this visual with the recent Omicron months added in. Anecdotally, I know WAY more friends/family who have gotten COVID in the last month. All vaccinated, so they are fine, but still...

The first problem the graphic above is that there aren’t any graphics showing obesity, diabetes, etc…

The second problem is that the source of the graphics are the CDC which have shown that they are perfectly willing to ignore numbers that aren’t conducive to the plan.

Yes, I agree. Good visualization and definitely puts things into perspective.

Fair enough, but you can't discredit data by pointing to an absence of better data.
