As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in 2020, has been in our lives for more than two years. Although the effects of the pandemic have started to decrease recently in many countries, the effects of the disease continue in countries such as China and the number of cases is increasing. For this reason, scientists continue to emphasize the importance of vaccines.
As we have conveyed to you, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently made statements with the number of people who died due to the pandemic and stated that more people died than we expected. In addition, the United States recently announced that more than 1 million people died from COVID-19. Now, a new study has revealed that some of these deaths may have been prevented with the right policies.
It turns out that vaccines can prevent the most 318 thousand deaths in the USA
A study by Brown University in the USA revealed how vaccines can affect the number of deaths . In the study published yesterday, it was stated that with the right vaccine policies, a minimum of 318,000 lives could be saved in the USA from January 2021 to April 2022. This revealed that in the country where more than 1 million deaths occurred, at least more than 30% of deaths could have been prevented.
In addition, the scientists involved in the study, which examined the data obtained from the states in the USA, added that doubts about vaccines and accessibility problems led to deaths. Examining all 50 states, including populous states such as California, Florida and Texas, the experts came to these findings by showing how many deaths per million people in the regions could be prevented.
Vaccine necessity debates both in the USA and around the world continue unabated. When we apply the results of this research to the world, it turns out that scientists think that the lives of millions of people who died due to COVID may have been saved.
