| numberwang said: The graph is global "covid deaths". The risk groups (above 75 and morbid) are nearly completely vaxxed in every country around the world and yet "covid deaths" are increasing globally compared to last summer. You could cherry pick individual countries and time frames but the general trend is clear, more lockdowns and more vaxxes mean more covid deaths. Always compare summer to summer and winter to winter to get a more accurate comparison without seasonality effect. The seasonal decline from winter to summer has been rebranded as vaccine success in the northern hemisphere but the southern hemisphere is doing worse than last winter and many countries in the north are experiencing summer waves now which did not happen in summer 2020 at all. |
Not even 14% of the global population is fully vaccinated. The only places that have fully vaccinated the elderly are parts of Europe, Asia and North America. We can't really compare this summer to last summer due to the delta variant which is roughly twice as transmissible as the original strain from last summer. Even so the link between high cases and hospitalizations has almost been completely broken in countries with high vaccine uptake.
