Once vaccination is widespread, can we have death stats broken down by "Vaxed/Refused vax"/"Can't-be-vaxed"/""?

Because if we get to the point where deaths and morbidity are still occurring but are occurring mostly in people who have refused the vax, I think that is going to, shall we say, make a difference in how society will be prepared to respond to that.

Yes, I'd like to see those figures too. Figures comparing vaccinated/unvaccinated, with a third category of too vulnerable to be vaccinated should be made available for complete transparency.

There's a fourth research category that I can also immediately think of (there will be more) which I'm in, which is people who get vaxxed, but are immunosuppressed, and for whom the vaccine may give lesser protection.

It will be interesting to follow this up.

That too

If (as is likely) the disease starts to become something that periodically breaks out in the unvaccinated, it might also help "encourage" some of the non vaxers to change their mind (I mean those who can have the shot and refuse it, not those who actually cannot be vaccinated).

The vaccines are very effective so, if they stop transmission, herd immunity happens with smaller numbers of people.

Which is good news for immunosuppressed people.

Also I would include in the figures, those unvaccinated but having had a previous positive covid test WITH symptoms.

We need to know more about immunity

Whatever9999 · 15/01/2021 07:06

God know. I'm hoping some time in the next few months that they'll completely drop all the minute detail of every case, hospitalisation and death. We don't do it for any other illness and things won't go back to normal until that dashboard is quietly shelved

DonLewis · 15/01/2021 07:09

You'd need to add when they were vaccinated. We still don't know how long immunity from the vaccine lasts.

What about stats on those who had the vaccine and still went on to get the virus, realtime efficiency rates (I’m sure they already do this for the flu vaccine)

Spindelina · 15/01/2021 08:06

Sorry I've had one dose of vaccine, and needed to get tested last weekend. Whether I'd been vaccinated was one of the questions asked, along with when. So I really hope they are doing something with that data (GDPR n all!)
