52% OF NYC SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE FULLY VACCINATED; CHALKBEAT HAS THE SCHOOL BY SCHOOL LIST

The COVID-19 vaccination rate for each NYC school is at Chalkbeat

 Just over half of New York City public school students are fully vaccinated, according to data the education department released Friday.

In total, 59% of the city’s public school students have received at least one vaccine dose and nearly 52% are considered fully vaccinated.

The lowest vaccinated districts:

The data show that there are wide disparities by school and neighborhood. Schools in Brooklyn’s District 23, which includes Ocean Hill, Brownsville and parts of East New York, had the lowest rates of vaccination, with just 38% of students receiving at least one dose. Districts 16, which includes a significant chunk of Bedford-Stuyvesant, and 18, which includes Flatbush and Canarsie, both had vaccination rates of 43%. On Staten Island, the rate is 47%.

The highest vaccinated districts:

Manhattan’s District 2 has the highest vaccination rate, with 80% of students receiving at least one dose. That district spans much of Lower Manhattan, some of Chinatown, and the Upper East Side. Not far behind: District 3 in Manhattan, which includes the Upper West Side and part of Harlem, at 77%. Next is District 26 in Bayside, Queens, where 74% of students have at least one dose.

Well in Israel the most comprehensive vaccinated place on earth having issues with the vaccinated. Do not need vaccines to play baseball/softball and many other spring sports. 99% country dropped mandates, just like we were late to close in 2019, latest to stop these insane mandates. ITS OVER JAMES, EVEN ERIC ADAMS SAID GET READY!! Congrats for staying in the cement, "united for stubborn" lost out on thousands easy votes and momentum vs Mulgrew only to think mandates work.

Athletes dying, 108 soccer players and coaches yet fake news reuters fact check trying so hard to debunk the vaccines did not cause healthiest in world to die.

One only needs to look at various neighborhood’s vax rates to see Adams is in a pickle. How can he force vax the very people democrats claim are already poor and abused because of systemic racism without that constituency turning on him. They don’t want your damn vaccine. But privileged elites want to boss them around. Not going to happen. Parents I talk to will never vaccinate their children. My school has low vax numbers and these parents are not taking orders from the government. Thank God for them. They have a backbone and see the government overreach for the tyranny it is.

Anon 2323,I know I shouldn't bother to try to reason with you but here goes.

Israel is not "the most comprehensive vaccinated place on earth" by any means, not even close.

This is from Bloomberg:"With less than 70% of the population fully vaccinated, Israel is no longer among the world's most-vaccinated places, figuring No. 67 on a Bloomberg ranking."

Did you even read the Reuters piece you linked to?

In the Real Time News article, the writer says the majority of the 108 deaths were “heart-related” and highlights that they occurred since the global rollout of COVID-19 vaccines.

The piece adds: “This large amount speaks for itself and tells a very different story from the mantra repeated by the media, according to which, the athletes who refuse to get vaccinated are just a handful of ‘vaccine opponents’”.

While it is true that many of the deaths were linked in news reports to heart issues, there is no current evidence that they prove a common link between COVID-19 vaccines and fatality.

In 53 cases, a cause of death was reported. These include heart attacks brought on by previously known or unknown heart conditions, while others included prior COVID-19 infections, a cerebral aneurysm, a traumatic brain injury, a motorbike accident, one suicide, two suspected suicides, heat stroke, and a rare congenital condition – anomalous origin of coronary artery.

Moreover, one case was reported in August 2019, prior to the pandemic, and another had a family confirm their relative was not vaccinated.

Some of the listed deaths also occurred prior to vaccine rollouts for respective age groups in certain countries.

Three cases did involve speculation of a vaccine link – but this has not been confirmed.

11:26 can you people not post without bringing Trump into it? Do you not understand how hard right wing media has tried to turn people against the vaccine? How they have opposed mask wearing and testing from the start? But yeah, we know they don't have a backbone and won't take a stand for their beliefs, so in the end many of them took the shot, from the top, all the way down. That doesn't make them anti-vaxx, just makes them spineless hypocrites. Glad you noticed.

Is this the UFC the anti vaxxers are talking about?

Omicron is a deadly virus. Former UFC star 41 y.o. Chris "The Crippler" Leben from San Diego CA is recovering from COVID after being on life support. He declined to talk about his vaccination status. This was his second battle with COVID #TheySurvivedCovid https://t.co/hnxP4dGuhB https://t.co/qlhETZVSw2

I’m curious to see if NYS schools will require the vaccine. They might before the city. Teachers will prob have to get the booster before Sept tho….

There is a disinformation campaign that young people are not affected by COVID-19 and that #Omicron is mild. These are both incorrect. Vaccination against COVID-19 protects against severe disease.

I can't help but notice that the schools with highest percentages of Asian students are also the ones with the highest percentages of fully vaccinated...hmmm....

Maybe 3rd time is the charm. This was censored twice already by James.

There is no scientific argument for mandates anymore. They are nothing but political.

Offit, Borio and Krause also argued that allowing people to substitute prior infection for a booster is in-line with the best research. Plus, they say, it may reduce vaccine resistance, because convincing someone to get one or two shots is easier than convincing them to get three.

“In some cases, people are losing their jobs because they believe — reasonably, it turns out — that, having been infected, they are well-protected against the coronavirus and are no more likely to transmit it than their vaccinated and boosted peers,” the authors wrote. “They prefer not to receive an unnecessary dose of a medical product.”

There are no mandates for boosters—although they are recommended to protect for waning resistance and better protection.
However, the common sense scientific rational for the 2 shot vaccine mandates was to drastically lower the risks of hospitalizations. Care workers in hospitals in regions with low vaccination rates have been over-burdened with those that have not been vaccinated especially during the surges of the past year and a half. It’s just tragic at how much disinformation and distrust is out there.

James Eterno said...

There is no booster mandate.

If you put a COVID comment on a post about class size or something else not related, it won't go through. Stay at least close to the topic and I will listen to varied points of view.

Wow. Crazy how many commentators here missed the obvious and crucial point from the above MSN.com piece.

The following quote is from former FDA officials as well as vaccine enthusiast, Paul “Let’s Vaccinate the World” Offit.

“In some cases, people are losing their jobs because they believe — reasonably, it turns out — that, having been infected, they are well-protected against the coronavirus and are no more likely to transmit it than their vaccinated and boosted peers,” the authors wrote. “They prefer not to receive an unnecessary dose of a medical product.”

No need for COVID mandates if you have immunity derived from prior infection. And it doesn’t stop transmission, despite the objections from mandaters like the Eternos and UFC.

1206, go make a medical product with exemption from liability and then you too will see the amount of distrust.

Under the PREP Act, companies like Pfizer and Moderna have total immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines. A little-known government program provides benefits to people who can prove they suffered serious injury from a vaccine.
That program rarely pays, covering just 29 claims over the last decade.

This is from WebMD

https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20220210/prior-infection-offers-less-protection-against-omicron

Previous coronavirus infection provides substantially less protection from reinfection against omicron than other variants, but still helps avoid severe disease at a high level, according to a study published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

From the UK

https://ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2022/02/10/how-well-do-vaccines-protect-against-omicron-what-the-data-shows/#:~:text=A%20rapid%20analysis%20from%20the,who%20had%20received%20booster%20vaccination.

A rapid analysis from the SIREN study showed lower protection from both vaccination and previous infection to Omicron compared to Delta, but indicated higher protection among those who had received booster vaccination.


The SIREN analysis found participants with the strongest protection against infection were those who were vaccinated after having a previous infection, with each vaccine providing greater protection. Therefore, the best protection, whether you have been infected previously or not, is to get all three vaccine doses.




As the science evolves, we should adjust accordingly.

James Eterno said...

More from England

Conclusion
The vaccine has and continues to provide high levels of protection against hospitalisation and death from COVID-19, which is the primary aim of the UK vaccination programme.

We know that protection against Omicron from the first two doses of vaccine declines over time, which is why getting the booster is so important to obtain the maximum protection against this virus.

This is important even if you have previously caught COVID-19, as we know infection-derived immunity is boosted significantly by the vaccine.

For those who are unvaccinated and have not been infected, the vaccine is the safest way to obtain high levels of protection and avoid the risk of serious illness from the virus.

The UKHSA will continue monitoring the virus and its relationship with the COVID-19 vaccines. This information will help inform the development of future vaccines, helping us to better adapt our response as we learn to live with COVID-19.

Here's a study the MAGAS won't quote or cite ever, even if it turns out to be totally accurate.

Scientists concluded that the coronavirus was very likely present in live mammals sold in a market in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, and that the virus spilled over into people working or shopping there.

They said they found no support for the theory that the virus escaped from a Wuhan laboratory.

Hochul just lifted mask requirements. Putting out the red carpet for Omicron BA2 over Passover/Easter spring break. Didn't we learn anything from December???

Anonymous said...

4:34,

Seriously? The whole country is lifting mask mandates and even the completely politicized CDC is catching on.

Here’s what we learned from December? Stop listening to the fearmongers. Omicron was completely manageable for the vast majority of Americans, whether vaxed or unvaxxed. For kids, in particular, Omicron was no more of a threat than a basic flu or cold.

Your endless pandemic is over. Welcome to the endemic stage.

Chill out and celebrate.

Yes 9:12. The left and it’s enablers let fascism take the field and the right is going to take the fascist ball and run with it. The supporters of the left encouraged fascism. I’m sure just like the democrats the republicans will claim the fascism is to keep us safe. This is what happens when you sacrifice liberty for safety. Enjoy the right’s authoritarianism. It’s sure to build upon what you leftists started. Foolish to give the democrats so much power and not think the right will take and build on that power. Some of us tried to warn you.

8:54, whoever you are, you have a keen grasp on politics and you are quite unlike the tired blue or red tribalists who typically comment on here.

Your warnings are appreciated. I wonder how the right’s authoritarianism will manifest. Another War on Terror?
And will liberals roll over for future authoritarianism like they did with COVID tyranny?

@8:54....So cute how 8:54 and 10:25 talks to him or herself. Hahahah @ "build on that power". The right builds on nothing. They destroy everything they get. They get a thriving economy and drag it into the ground, every single time, then hand a big pile of shit back to the Democrats. Now they're crying that Trump left them holding the bag after he incited the storming of the Capitol. Wannabe Fascists who don't know their azz from their elbows. You're the idiots who sacrificed liberty by condoning stop and frisk, no knock warrants, and cameras on every block. You're the one who sacrifice liberty by taking away a woman's right to choose.

You're the ones who need government to enact laws telling you how and when to vote. But yeah, keep deluding yourself that you hold so much power. You are not a part of the power elite. Just because those right-wing wackos in powerful positions calling the shots are stringing you along with their feigned outrage, doesn't mean they're sharing their power with you. You're too stupid to figure that out.
