2 Covid Vaccine Doses VS 1 Associated With Nearly 2X Increased Odds Of Reinfection | 14.4% Excess Deaths In England & Wales VS 5 Year Average | Massachusetts Advises Against School Mask Mandates
A lot of important new data were released over the past 24 hours you should be aware of. The previously mentioned information will likely change public health policy regarding Covid vaccination and masking of school children while shedding light on “unexplained” excess death counts.
The particulars will be briefly summarized here, then further summarized below. It should be said first, a new peer reviewed article released in JAMA explained that individuals who received 2 Covid vaccine doses ended up having higher odds of reinfection compared to those who only received 1 dose. Specifically, nearly 2X increased odds of reinfection were experienced in those who took 2 VS 1 dose.
Next, England and Wales just reported excess deaths in the amount of 14.4% compared to the 5 years average. It should be noted that only around 6% of the aforementioned deaths were related to COVID-19.
Moving on, the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education and DPH issued new Covid guidance for schools. That said, Massachusetts no longer recommends mandatory masking of school children.
As always, the data are summarized below. Nonetheless, it would be wise to review the sources. As a final word, please make sure to share this vital information with everyone you know by pressing the share button below.
A new population-based-cohort study of previously infected individuals from Iceland examined 11k Omicron reinfections between Dec 21’-Feb 22’ and found:
1.42 (95% CI, 1.13-1.78) times the odds of reinfection after taking 2 doses VS 1 or less. In other words, more vaccine doses were associated with increased risk of reinfection.
1327 (5%) reinfections.
The authors of this study state, “findings should be interpreted with caution because of limitations..which include the inability to adjust for the complex relationships among prior infection, vaccine eligibility, and underlying conditions”. Nonetheless, this trend of vaccine ineffectiveness against reinfection is seen in many other well adjusted studies.
