The fall is eloquent if the numbers of the last three months are taken: 32 deaths every seven days, with a maximum of 67 in week 1 of 2023 and a minimum of 5 in week 5.
The number of deaths, without discriminating between vaccinated and unvaccinated, went down 10 times between the first two years of the pandemic and the third.
What is the cause of the drop in the number of deaths?
Magazine The Lancet tried to answer the question of what protects more, if the vaccine or having had Covid-19. And this work concluded that natural immunity is as persistent as that offered by the vaccine.
However, everything depends on the risk conditions of the patient and the experts point to a “hybrid immunity” (vaccines plus convalescence) as the best tool to combat the virus.
The natural immunity against severe disease (hospitalization or death) granted by having passed the Covid-19 remains “robust” for months and is effective with all variants of the virus, according to the meta-analysis published in The Lancet.
In the months after infection, immunity remains at a level of 88 percent above, according to the study on 65 different investigations carried out in 19 countries.
The work suggests that the level and duration of protection against reinfection, symptomatic disease, and severe disease is at least comparable to that offered by two doses of mRNA vaccines such as those of Modern and Pfizer in case of variants Alpha, Delta and Omicron.
