WEEKLY COVID DEATH RATE AMONG VACCINATED AND BOOSTED ABOUT ONE IN A MILLION SAYS NY TIMES

We have been asked numerous times in comments here for UFT presidential candidate Camille Eterno's position on vaccine mandates. Camille was quite clear on CNN last summer that she was in favor of the mandate for school staff.

Camille talked about public safety. She said she was afraid many more people will die. That has happened, unfortunately.

Camille was on CNN before the Omicron wave. The difference in deaths between vaccinated and boosted people as opposed to unvaccinated is huge. We saw this in the email summary of the NY Times sent this morning:



That is not a trivial difference. The Times does some analysis:

The average weekly chance that a boosted person died of Covid was about one in a million during October and November (the most recent available C.D.C. data). Since then, the chances have no doubt been higher, because of the Omicron surge. But they will probably be even lower in coming weeks, because the surge is receding and Omicron is milder than earlier versions of the virus. For now, one in a million per week seems like a reasonable estimate.

That risk is not zero, but it is not far from it. The chance that an average American will die in a car crash this week is significantly higher — about 2.4 per million. So is the average weekly death rate from influenza and pneumonia — about three per million.

Vaccine mandates save people's lives. The vaccines are no longer experimental either as Moderna now has full FDA approval just like Pfizer. While I don't fully agree with the Times that Omcron is milder because it is so much more contagious and US deaths are unacceptably high, mandates will keep more people alive.

Do you really think Camille should change her position based on the accepted sceintific and statistical record?

That said, both of us feel there should be reasonable exemptions and we have helped UFT members who should have been given exemptions but were denied.

“Vaccine mandates save people from themselves.”
Right...because they’ve done so well to stop the spread and hospitalizations of a disease with a 99% survival rate for most Americans.

“The vaccines are no longer experimental either as Moderna now has full FDA approval just like Pfizer.”
Comirnaty and Spikevax are not available in the US yet. All we have are the original vaccines whose 13 FDA required studies will be completed in 2027. Also, if you still think it’s not experimental, listen to the wise words of FDA panelist Dr. Ruben:

“Do you really think Camille should change her position based on the accepted sceintific and statistical record?”
Yes. Use the full scientific record, not just NY Times data from pre-Omicron days.

How about this scientific record that mandaters conveniently ignore?

In contrast to high levels of protection against both symptomatic infection and severe outcomes caused by Delta, our results suggest that 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines only offer modest and short-term protection against symptomatic Omicron infection. A third dose improves protection against symptomatic infection and provides excellent protection against severe outcomes for both variants.

Free people have a right to take risks. If the vaccine does not prevent transmission it’s none of your business. Forcing someone to take on the risk of a vaccine side effect when the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission is evil authoritarianism. It’s about control not health. When the republicans take control and bury you with their authoritarianism you’ll see the error of your ways.

Determining whether sources are far right or far left is subjective and usually depends on whether you agree with what is being spewed.

The majority of the resources that many people follow for "news" are "far left"...NY Times, Google, Yahoo, MSN, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, PBS, NPR, Youtube, Twitter, CDC, NIH, WHO, local TV and radio stations, Time, celebrities, Fauci, Gates, etc. Where has their leadership brought us?

The list of "far right" resources that people regularly follow for news is quite short compared to that of the far left; FOX news(TV and Radio), OAN, Newsmax.

I do not mean to start a debate on "far right" or "far left." I would just like to bring out how the sources above are all subjective. When one of the two sides overwhelmingly dominates, we should all be suspicious, wary and not simply obey without question. Hasn't history taught us this lesson already?

Trump's distribution of vaccinations was a complete and utter debacle and so was his initial response. Whatever deaths we have are because of TRUMP's incompetence and his right-wing media pals who would rather spew lies about the vaccine, and see more people die than to have to give Biden credit on anything.

The DOE never allowed remote learning except for kids are in quarantine. For about two minutes they allowed that "teachers" could provide remote learning, or livestream, or whatever, so that if students were not able to access remote learning it would be the teacher's fault.

Governor Newsom is all over the map with no mask, including an indoor football game with 80k people. He was with Magic Johnson, who is immunocompromised, who also had no mask. The mayors of SF and LA, all dems, also were there with no masks.

You need a broader explanation. You are completely ignoring comorbidites once again. Most of these COVID deaths were in combination with other conditions like heart disease, obesity, and old age.

“Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes were the most common comorbidity in patients death due to COVID-19. More than half of the patients had two or more comorbidities.“

James Eterno said...

So those lives don't matter since they were already sick? That is sick thinking in my opinion.

This is from PBS on life expectancy going down in 2020 in the United States:

COVID-19 helped erase 1.8 years from the average American’s life expectancy in 2020, according to the latest federal mortality data released Wednesday, marking the greatest change in the American lifespan since World War II. During that one brutal year, COVID-19 became the third-most common cause of death in the United States, with one out of 10 fatalities due to the virus.

“A loss of two years seems limited, but that’s rolling back decades and decades of progress,” said Dr. Zinzi Diana Bailey, a social epidemiologist at the University of Miami’s Miller School of Medicine. “We are going backwards.”

To produce these findings, researchers gathered and analyzed the nation’s death certificates, tallying up how many people died and the underlying cause of each death. There were nearly 529,000 more deaths in the U.S. than in the previous year, for a total of more than 3.3 million, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

One bright spot in the data: Despite the average American living a shorter life and millions forgoing health care out of fear of catching or spreading the coronavirus, the infant mortality rate fell 2.9 percent to a record low.

James Eterno said...


Compare life expectancy in peer countries also if you want to see how bad a job the US has done with COVID.

"Changes in life expectancy varied substantially across peer countries. Six countries (Denmark, Finland, New Zealand, Norway, South Korea, and Taiwan) had increases in life expectancy between 2018 and 2020."

“So those lives don't matter since they were already sick? That is sick thinking in my opinion.”

Your words, not mine. Do you have any other straw man arguments?

The point you keep ducking is that COVID is predominantly dangerous or deadly for people with comorbidities.
If the government, out of their benevolent attempt at “saving people from themselves”, mandated this vaccine for those at risk (older, obese, and chronically ill), it would still be overreach and an abuse of power. What then stops the government from creating mandates for vegan diets or banning large soft drinks?

Are Americans allowed to make their own medical decisions with their own doctors or does the government always know what’s best for us?

Can Americans be trusted with medical self-determination?

James Eterno said...

By that impeccable logic, we would never have mandated vaccines. We would still be battling polio, measles, and other major disease outbreaks constantly.

If more people are vaxxed, it would lower viral load and in turn lower transmission. If more people are vaxxed, then we also stand a chance to avoid more variants.

In NYC it was the other way around. Over 80% not vaccinated.

However if the claim made here is correct that vaccines no longer are effective then that means that we need to go back to massive lockdowns until omicron specific vaccines are available. That is unlikely to be correct, as other evidence (such as from NYC) shows that at least the mRNA vaccines keep you out of the hospital. As of a few weeks ago you were 41x as likely to be hospitalized in NYC if you were not vaccinated.

Highly vaccinated populations, such as in Israel, will have a large fraction of their cases be vaccinated. That is explained by Bayes’ Theorem, published 1763.

"The people who are dying of COVID are the unvaccinated,” said Elyse Isopo, a critical-care nurse at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset. "That's the most devastating thing for us."

It's an individual's choice to risk covid or not.all of you who say the shot protects you from serious illness should not be disturbed or accuse the unvaxxed of spreading it.even the cdc admits the shot doesn't halr transmission and viral loads of vaxxed and unvaxxed are the same.let people choose.most will have mild illness, yes, some will get very ill or die, but that is a personal choice, as is the annual choice to decline the hepatitis shot.i declined.i work an d75, I was bitten once.i chose to risk it. People have the right to risk covid rather than risking serious illness or death from a shot. And I know of someone who died of hepatitis from a patient.freedim of choice not to participate in a medical experiment, especially by those who funded and were likely involved in making the virus and who profit astronomically from it.

Someone heard a rumor(not confirmed)that Hochul plans on mandating the jab for all students to attend school in September.any reactions?I think we will lose many students if it goes through.sadly, the impoverished students can't afford to homeschool.it is heartbreaking to me.
