How many deaths have been caused by SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), Bobby?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic_deaths Quote:7,111,504 (updated 3 April 2026) confirmed COVID-induced deaths have been reported worldwide. As of January 2023, taking into account likely COVID-induced deaths via excess deaths, the 95% confidence interval suggests the pandemic has caused between 19.1 and 36 million deaths.
How many of these (ongoing) deaths could have been prevented if people had kept up to date with their vaccinations?
And, we also have Long Covid cases:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/09/health/long-covid-world.html Quote:About 400 million people worldwide have been afflicted with long Covid, according to a new report by scientists and other researchers who have studied the condition. The team estimated that the economic cost — from factors like health care services and patients unable to return to work — is about $1 trillion worldwide each year, or about 1 percent of the global economy.
That was nearly 2 years ago. How many cases are there now, I wonder?
And, how many of these cases could have been prevented or reduced in severity if people had kept up to date with their vaccinations?
And also if governments hadn't decided to pretend Covid is "over" or it is "just a cold"?
