Covid vax campaign in US prevented 1,40,000 deaths till May


New York, Aug 19 (IANS): The early Covid-19 vaccination campaign in the US prevented nearly 1,40,000 deaths and three million corona cases by the second week of May, according to a new study.

The study, published online by the journal Health Affairs, estimates the number of lives saved between December 21, 2020 to May 9, 2021 in each of the 50 states and Washington, DC. As a result of early vaccination efforts, the average state experienced five fewer deaths from Covid-19 per 10,000 adult residents.

Adjusting for population size, New York saw the largest estimated reduction, with 11.7 fewer Covid-19 deaths per 10,000 adult residents. Hawaii observed the smallest reduction, with 1.1 fewer Covid-19 deaths per 10,000 adult residents.

"The findings provide support for policies that further expand vaccine administration to enable a larger proportion of the nation's population to benefit," said Christopher Whaley, policy researcher at RAND, a nonprofit research organisation.

"Our results suggest that further efforts to vaccinate populations globally and in a coordinated fashion will be critical to achieving greater control of the Covid-19 pandemic," added Sumedha Gupta, first author of the study and an economist at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

The economic value of the lives saved during the study period is estimated to be between $625 billion and $1.4 trillion. Through the end of 2020, the US federal government had allocated $13 billion dollars for vaccine development and manufacturing, the researchers said.

The US continues to be the worst-hit country with the world's highest number of cases and deaths at 3,71,48,877 and 6,24,209, respectively, according to Johns Hopkins University.

More than 59 per cent of the US population has received at least one dose of Covid-19 vaccines, with 50.9 per cent fully vaccinated, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

    Saved 1,40,000, or slowly planning more with so called vaccines? Divine message on liberal Biden's death culture vaccine plans in a message to John Leary dated Thursday, August 5, 2021: (message mainly to american but also for rest of the faithful or believers) ... Jesus said: “My people, it is a crime to force employees, college students, and the Army to take the Covid vaccines, or they are out of a job. Your people need to rise up against these Covid vaccine mandates, or a lot of people are going to die. Do not be like lambs led to the slaughter as the Germans killed the Jews. It is reported in some lab tests that mice injected with a full dose of Covid vaccine saw a majority of them die. This is grounds to stop these poisonous shots, if this data was made public. Pray for the vaccinated people to be healed with My blessings.” Jesus said: “My people, some people are being offered money or other encouragements to take the Covid shots. Some rumors are talking about increasing medical insurance premiums for the unvaccinated. These Covid viruses are not that deadly, but the vaccines are definitely deadly and they are causing immediate serious symptoms. The doctors are not linking these health problems with the Covid vaccines on purpose. You have heard of blood clots and deaths after receiving the Covid shots. Your wife’s uncle died within a few weeks from a Covid shot. Pray for My healing of the vaccinated people by using the Good Friday oil or the exorcism water with the miraculous medal. Even hydroxychloroquin and ivormectin will help the vaccinated people who have complications from the Covid shots.” Jesus said: “My people, as more Covid delta variant cases increase, you could see more masking and forced booster shots, especially for people on planes or at sports events. You could even see more shutdowns coming as well. All of these precautions are not necessary, as even the vaccinated people are getting sick, as well as the unvaccinated people. As you see the vaccinated people dying or getting sick, you will see that these Covid shots were designed to reduce your population on purpose. Pray to stop this evil vaccination push by your media and Biden because they want to kill people as a part of their death culture.” Ref: http://www.johnleary.com/index.php/?cat=3&order=DESC
