I’m sure I heard on radio 4 today that one of the people admitted to hospital with the Indian variant after 2 vaccines was 100 years old. We’ve all got to die sometime. I think when you are talking about v small numbers the individual profiles are likely to be very important?
Why does that logic not apply to covid?
Things like flu and pneumonia kill ppl every winter. And the very elderly and those with severe illnesses are most at risk. Therefore we vaccinate ppl.
However both illnesses also make other ppl vulnerable who get both vaccines also.
And there's those of us who don't want to catch flu. So we get the vaccine.
In the majority of ppl that have been fully vaccinated , they will receive a much less severe case of COVID-19 if they catch it.
However this person was 100. They may have had an ongoing infection, and catching Covid on top was too much for her body to cope with.
She could have had a major medical event since vaccination leaving her body weak.
We could speculate 100 scenarios. However every life is worse a scientific endeavour to find a cause and hopefully a cure. This person may have fought in WW2, or be a widow who lost her husband to it. She might have worked I'm the ammunition factories. Or maybe she looked after her kids. He/ she has lived through a lot of changes.
fwiw, I'm on a study over 4 continents where noone has been hospitalised with Covid nor died.
I hope you were not querying lock down or vaccinations to save lives.
