Covid vaccination + a booster reduces death by 99% and hospitalization by 97& across age groups. I know of no other medical intervention that has or exceeds such relative risk reductions xitter.cf/EricTopol/status/14864…

Update: Switzerland now reports deaths by booster status. Compared to unvaccinated people, the COVID mortality rate is: • 9x lower after full vaccination • 48x lower after a booster [From our post with @maxcroser on death rates by vaccination status: ourworldindata.org/covid-dea…]
How well does Prior Covid (without vaccination) protect vs symptomatic infection? It depends on the reinfection variant: Alpha 90% (60,98) Beta 85% (75,91) Delta 92% (88,95) Omicron 56% (51,61) New results from large Qatar report medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
