I en sammenligning af 68 lande og 2.947 amter i USA konkluderer en ny undersøgelse, at jurisdiktioner med høje vaccinationsrater ikke har lavere infektionshastigheder. En nylig undersøgelse, der netop blev offentliggjort i European Journal of Epidemiology, viste, at vaccinationsrater ikke havde effekt på nye tilfælde af COVID i den første uge af september.


Kommentar: Delvist oversat af Sott.net fra Study shows COVID vaccine does NOT reduce infection as countries with higher vaccination have more cases


The study examined 68 counties around the world and compared COVID-19 cases per 1 million people for each country to the percentage of the population that is fully vaccinated. It found "no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days" (see figure below).


Comment: This is not surprising, considering that COVID vaccines were purported to only be effective at reducing severity of infection, not stopping the spread of the virus.

"In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people. Notably, Israel with over 60% of their population fully vaccinated had the highest COVID-19 cases per 1 million people in the last 7 days. The lack of a meaningful association between percentage population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases is further exemplified, for instance, by comparison of Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated." the study concluded.

A similar observation is made when looking at the U.S. counties. "There also appears to be no significant signaling of COVID-19 cases decreasing with higher percentages of population fully vaccinated" the study reports.

While the data in this study is a snapshot of changes in the first week of September, it provides a link to historical data where one can see other weeks as well. This latest study confirms what many others have been observing, that even a successful vaccination campaign does not reduce new COVID cases.
