The vaccines against Covid-19 Coronavirus gave the world to the world a total of 14.8 million years of life, from the end of 2020 to 2024.
Without anti-Covid vaccines, the Sars-Cov-2 Coronavirus It would take another 2.533 million screws away All over the world from 2020 to 2024: it reveals the most complete estimate of the impact that the immunization campaign has had on global public health.
Based on the study, conducted by the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan and Stanford University (California), all over the world the vaccines against the Covid virus they saved a total of 14.8 million years of life (one year of life saved every 900 doses of vaccine administered).
Even after the “official” end of the Pandemic
The one published in the scientific journal Jama Health Forum It is not the first esteem of the years of life saved from anti-covid vaccines, who ferried us out of the pandemic. But to make the new job interesting is The covered period of time: from the end of 2020, the beginning of the vaccination campaigns, Until October 2024. Therefore well beyond 5 May 2023, the official date chosen by the WHO for the end of the health emergency due to Covid.
If in the three years preceding the virus it had caused about 20 million global deaths (which in reality could be many more) the Sars-Cov-2 has continued to circulate and to damage especially the most fragile. The new study tells how vaccines have continued – and continue – to protect us.
Who has benefited more than vaccines?
The vaccines against Sars-Cov-2 prevented over 2.5 million deaths, one every 5400 doses administered. 82% of the lives saved concern people vaccinated before the encounter with the virus; 57% of the lives saved concern the period of the Moraron variant (the year 2022); 90% of the deaths avoided concern people over 60.
Scientists came to these conclusions by studying with statistical methods who, among those who have fallen from Covid, did it before or after being vaccinated, in what period and under which variant it happened, and how many are dead (and what age). These data were compared with estimates on how many people would have died as a result of the virus in the absence of vaccines.
76% of the overall years of life rescued concerned people with more than 60 years of age, but the elderly guests of the nursing homes contributed only for 2% to the total number of years saved. Children and adolescents constitute 0.01% of saved lives, young adults aged 20 to 29, 0.07%.
