Do you know the odds if you are fully vaccinated?

“This cohort study provides one such comparative analysis, suggesting that government implementation of emergent measures—such as nursing home and prison visitation restrictions, school closures, mask mandates, and jail decarceration—are important for effective epidemic mitigation. Furthermore, its findings reflect that epidemic control depends not only on emergent responses but also on longer-term policy determinants of public health vulnerability. Specifically, our results suggest that the globally unparalleled system of mass incarceration in the US, which is known to incubate infectious diseases and to spread them to broader communities, puts the entire country at distinctive epidemiologic risk. This study is thus consistent with existing expert consensus16 that public investment in a national program of large-scale decarceration and reentry support is an essential policy priority for reducing racial inequality and improving US public health and safety, pandemic preparedness, and biosecurity.”

The 99% survival stat has been difficult for Americans to grasp (despite seeing COVID survivors w/ awful long-term health effects all around then). I like this approach that explains the “odds” of vaccinated vs unvaccinated, from a woman who lost her dad to COVID. #GetVaccinated

Just started my shift in the ICU where I work per diem just few shifts a month. Yes, this ICU seems to have less covid patients than 1 month ago. But EVERY unvaccinated covid patient I took care of in this ICU a month ago DIED. #GetVaccinated #Depressing

More than 600,000 Covid cases from April through mid-July were analyzed and linked to vaccination status.

  • Those who were unvaccinated were about 4.5 times more likely to contract the virus, more than 10 times more likely to be hospitalized with the virus, and 11 times more likely to die from the disease.
  • About 54% of the U.S. population is fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.
