Reply to comment by gravitywind1012 in A study in the US has found, compared to unvaccinated people, protection from the risk of dying from COVID during the six-month omicron wave for folks who had two doses of an mRNA vaccine was 42% for 40- to 59-year-olds; 27% for 60- to 79-year-olds; and 46% for people 80 and older. by Wagamaga

They were referring to the fact that mortality for non-covid reasons was lower in the vaccinated versus the non-vaccinated which suggests there are other hidden variables as one would not expect the vaccination to have any impact on non-covid related deaths, so they used statistics to adjust for that anomaly.

Reply to comment by psyon in COVID vaccines and first boosters provided protection to pregnant women during Omicron surge. Looking at unvaccinated women, you still have an increased death rate, and increased neonatal mortality. If you are vaccinated and boosted, especially with a mRNA vaccine, those levels drop by 81%. by Wagamaga

I can see my ability to gage ratios is suspect. Thanks for the correction.

It does make me wonder if the quick covid test type could alter the results although it appears false positives are not a big issue with the tests as false negatives are.

Nice study.

A good visual

Vaccinated and with covid.
-108 had no symptoms -206 had any type symptoms

Not Vaccinated and with covid

  • 57 had no symptoms
  • 88 had symptoms

That is a rather drastic difference and supports the end premise.

The only thing that could be warranted to further scrutinize is gaging whether the covid test type could introduce enough possible false positives to change the end results. Maybe it is addressed but I missed it. If I recall 20% of the tests were the quick test.
