BREAKING: Latest Vaccination Data Shows Higher Vaccination Rates DO NOT LEAD To Lower COVID Cases Or Deaths

powered by Surfing Waves

According to the latest data from USAFacts.org, which compiles its data from local and national sources that are also used by the CDC and other government agencies, vaccination rates have little effect on deaths and caseloads.

The top 5 states by caseload, according to USAFacts' 7-day rolling average, are Texas, Ohio, New York, California, and Florida. Of these, Texas has the most deaths at 293, whereas the remaining three have 50, 46, 61, and 138 respectively. But digging further into the data reveals that Texas's vaccination rate is roughly equal to the other states, yet they have a significantly higher caseload and death rate.

Currently, Texas has a 59% single-dose vaccination rate and a 51% double-vaccination rate, and they lead the pack with more than 11,000 cases and 293 deaths. 

However, Ohio has a LOWER vaccination rate than Texas, with just 50% double-vaccinated and 54% single-dose vaccinated yet they are experiencing 5,949 cases weekly and 61 deaths. This is significantly lower than Texas despite similar vaccination numbers.

Further, New York, which has a much higher double-vaccination rate of 63% and a much higher single-dose vaccination rate of 71% is doing just slightly better than Ohio, at 5,488 cases and 46 deaths.

But California, despite LOWER vaccination rates than New York, has a HIGHER death rate but FEWER cases than New York, yet EQUAL deaths with Ohio. Currently, 71% of California's population has received a single-dose, but just 58% have received both doses. California's weekly case and death rates are 4,977 and 61 deaths. To put this into perspective, Ohio, which has a much lower vaccination rate, has a LOWER death rate than New York despite the New York's higher vaccination rate.

Then in Florida, despite the HIGH death rate, they have a LOWER rolling case average than all of the above states but have a LOWER vaccination rate than New York and California, standing at 66% being single-vaccinated and 57% being double-vaccinated. Florida's case load is 4,929, but their death rate is unusually high at 138. But the death rate in Florida is SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER than in Texas and Ohio, where the vaccination rates are much lower.

So, to recap, the data shows that vaccination rates do not correlate with lower caseload nor fewer deaths, as Florida has a much lower caseload than Texas, but relatively high deaths per caseload, and Ohio has a lower vaccination rate than Texas but is performing much better in caseloads and deaths. 

Additionally, New York and California are performing inversely on the line up. If vaccination rates equal fewer cases and deaths, then California should be having more cases and deaths than New York, but. while the death rate is higher, the case load is not.

If vaccinations proved to be an effective measure against COVID by themselves, then the state lineup would be as follows (from worst to best):

1. Ohio
2. Texas
3. Florida
4. California
5. New York

But instead we see this lineup:

1. Texas
2. Ohio
3. New York
4. California

5. Florida

And if we do it by deaths according to Vaccination rate, the positioning should be:

1. Ohio
2. Texas
3. Florida
4. California

5. New York

However, we see this order instead:

1. Texas
2. Florida
3. California
4. Ohio

5. New York 

Based on the ordering of the lists, and how the caseloads and deaths do not correlate to how they should be listed if vaccination rates determine deaths, the data shows that there is no correlation between vaccination rates and COVID caseloads or deaths.

One possible reason for the high deaths in Texas is the healthcare system firing nurses who are not getting the vaccine. Despite Texas state policies not mandating the vaccine, many nurses have been fired for refusing to get vaccinated. This has caused a nursing shortage which is likely the reason for the much higher death rates. The same thing is happening in Florida, despite DeSantis moving to punish local governments that are mandating the vaccine.

Data out of Public Health England has shown the COVID vaccine is effective at preventing COVID deaths in those older than 50, but has no effect, and possibly even a slightly negative effect, in preventing deaths in those under 50. 

However, that doesn't mean it is a necessarily bad idea to get the vaccine. But it is good to note there have been much higher severe allergic reactions from the COVID vaccine. Nevertheless, immunocompromised individuals and the elderly have shown lower rates of death for vaccinated individuals vs. unvaccinated. But some questions about the long-term effects of mRNA vaccines on immune health remain.

The Washington Gazette does not recommend making any personal health decisions without talking with your primary care physician about your specific circumstances and whether the vaccine is right for you. This information is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
