>In this study, the results showed that the low efficacy of preventive measures for preventing infection in unvaccinated people does not necessarily mean that they are completely ineffective. As an example, our results show that protective measures on non vaccinated individuals were statistically significant in reducing the need to receive anti-COVID-19 treatments (OR: 0.447, 95% CI = 0.321–0.623; p < 0.0001). These agree with the systematic review of Talic et al., who found a reduction in the incidence of COVID-19 associated with mask-wearing, handwashing, and physical distancing.
>This study follows a quantitative design to analyse anti-vaccination

Reply to A cross-sectional study on the Algerian population found that non-vaccinated individuals who did not follow prevention measures (social distancing, masking etc.) are more likely to require COVID-19 treatment than people who followed the measures. by glawgii
