Key excerpts and interpretations from the article:
“…Israel that was hailed for its swift and high rates of vaccination has also seen a substantial resurgence in COVID-19 cases.”
Interpretation: More vaccine use/dependence = more Cv19; no evidence of protection, actual evidence of harm
“…countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people.”
Interpretation: More vaccine use/dependence = more Cv19; no evidence of protection, actual evidence of harm
“…Iceland and Portugal. Both countries have over 75% of their population fully vaccinated and have more COVID-19 cases per 1 million people than countries such as Vietnam and South Africa that have around 10% of their population fully vaccinated.”
Interpretation: More vaccine use/dependence = more Cv19; less vaccine use/dependence = less Cv19; no evidence of protection, actual evidence of harm
“Of the top 5 counties that have the highest percentage of population fully vaccinated (99.9–84.3%), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies 4 of them as “High” Transmission counties.”
Interpretation: More vaccine use/dependence = more Cv19; no evidence of protection, actual evidence of harm
“Chattahoochee (Georgia), McKinley (New Mexico), and Arecibo (Puerto Rico) counties have above 90% of their population fully vaccinated with all three being classified as “High” transmission.”
Interpretation: More vaccine use/dependence = more Cv19; no evidence of protection, actual evidence of harm
“Conversely, of the 57 counties that have been classified as “low” transmission counties by the CDC, 26.3% (15) have percentage of population fully vaccinated below 20%.”
Interpretation: Less vaccine use/dependence = less Cv19
“…CDC reported an increase from 0.01 to 9% and 0 to 15.1% (between January to May 2021) in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths, respectively, amongst the fully vaccinated.”
Conclusion statement from authors: “The sole reliance on vaccination as a primary strategy to mitigate COVID-19 and its adverse consequences needs to be re-examined, especially considering the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant and the likelihood of future variants. Other pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions may need to be put in place alongside [the same intervention which they just showed actually increases illness] increasing vaccination rates. Such course correction, especially with regards to the policy narrative, becomes paramount with emerging scientific evidence on real world effectiveness of the vaccines.”
Summary statement from DrV: This data from 68 countries and 2947 American counties shows that more vaccination correlates with more cases of Cv19 infection; this is exactly opposite to the “policy narrative” but consistent with WHO statements that “A vaccine on its own will not end the pandemic” as shown in the video below. In contrast, vitamin D has shown clear benefit for prevention and treatment of Cv19:
