CoVid Vaccines Prevent Hospitalization
Vidcast: https://youtu.be/PuPjqCme7pA
A major study shows that full CoVid vaccination makes it 10-fold less likely that you will require hospitalization for CoVid. This and other conclusions come from a CDC organized study looking at populations in 99 counties across 14 states for a total of about 35 million Americans.
Before the Delta variant became dominant, vaccination reduced your chances of a CoVid hospitalization 17 fold. That declined to 10 fold with the spread of Delta which increased the percentage of breakthrough CoVid cases from 0.01% to 16% or a factor of 1600.
The study confirmed that vaccinated persons with breakthrough CoVid tended to be older, to be those with underlying medical conditions, and to be residents of long-term case facilities.
With Delta CoVid predominant and now joined by Omicron, boosting your CoVid immunity is essential if its been 6 months or more since your second Pfizer or Moderna shot or 2 months since your J&J vaccination. Then too, be particularly careful not to contract CoVid by consistently masking, avoiding any but necessary indoor activities, and by avoiding large outdoor crowds.
