The race to develop a vaccine against covid-19 was a matter of life and death. A recent study found that in 2021, 20 million lives were saved by the jabs. Researchers at Airfinity, a life-sciences data firm, have used those numbers—along with data on which shots were most widely administered in each country—to estimate which one averted most deaths.
Airfinity found that more than half of lives saved around the world could be attributed to just two vaccines, which shared first place: AstraZeneca-Oxford and Pfizer-BioNTech. Each averted between 5m and 7m deaths (because of the considerable uncertainty, The Economist deemed this a statistical tie). In third spot was the Sinovac vaccine (sometimes known as CoronoVac), at approximately 1.7m-2.2m lives saved, closely followed by Moderna at 1.5m-2m.
To estimate how many lives each type of vaccine had saved, Airfinity drew on a recent study by epidemiologists at Imperial College London. This study estimated the number of deaths averted in the first year of vaccination, which started on December 8th 2020. The company’s researchers then distributed these lives saved between jabs. To do so they relied on each vaccine’s share of inoculations by country by the time the study ended. They also accounted for slight differences in their efficacy at preventing death, as shown in clinical trials.
In doing so, they made several assumptions. First, that when a country had offered multiple types of jabs, these had been administered at similar times. In fact, this was not always the case. In Britain, for instance, inoculations were initially all delivered with Pfizer-BioNTech’s vaccine, and only later included those of Moderna and AstraZeneca-Oxford. Nor did Airfinity account for the fact that certain vaccines were given disproportionately to more vulnerable groups in a given country (such as the very old), which might have led to their saving more lives.
The study that Airfinity built on excluded China, where fewer data are available, as well as tiny countries with a population of less than 90,000. That suggests that all numbers should be a bit higher, and especially those for the Chinese jabs—though the limited spread of the virus in China also means the impact of their absence from the study is not as great as it might have been.
That AstraZeneca-Oxford and Pfizer-BioNTech emerged as the leaders by the end of 2021 should come as no surprise. Both ramped up production early, and by the end of the study period had by far the most doses administered outside China, at about 2bn and 1.5bn shots respectively. Moreover, many of their jabs went to older populations which were especially vulnerable to covid.
These numbers only show deaths averted by the end of 2021. Vaccines continue to save lives, and have allowed most countries to return to a semblance of pre-pandemic normalcy. In the race to develop covid jabs, at least 20m spectators and their loved ones have been the ultimate winners.
You sure?
Yeah...mine was sugar cubes...2 doses about a month apart.
The only boosters for anything I have had have been for tetanus.
Wuhan “vaccines” aren’t remotely close to any of that kind of protection. They apparently do little to nothing.
You certainly can not argue that they “saved” lives or made folks less sick. You don’t know that.
Figures don’t lie, but liars figure.
For us, ivermectin wins, except it’s not a vaccine.

Depending on who you listen to, there may be nothing to be concerned about. Then again, others are saying we should be talking about billions dead from the jabs. It's probably in between....
Plus now I can take a cruise out on the lake in the Tige because I'm insured against volcanos while you're sitting at home making dishes out of clay.
Why did insurance actuaries report increased excess deaths not until AFTER the injections?
The question that should be asked is: How many people have been killed by these dangerous, untested and experimental gene therapy experiments?
And how bad are the autoimmune attacks that all the C-19 vaxxxxines start?
And how long will people be able to survive these autoimmune attacks? Excess deaths around the world suggest that significant numbers of the vaxxxxinated have already died.
Excess deaths started AFTER vaxxination started?
Everyone who has been vaxxxxed knows correlation does NOT prove causation!
We should expect long Covid to keep killing long after the initial C-19 waves are over
Yeah, that’s what is killing so many of the vaxxxxxxinated. The vaxxxxines are all perfectly safe and they are ALL extremely safe! The science is settled and all debate must stop immediately, now go get your 6 month booster before we call your death unvaccinated. /sarc
Prove that ANY of the “vaccines” saved a single life. Go ahead, I’ll wait.
I haven’t seen DugwayDuke or any of the other Branch Covidians around here in awhile.
Do they separate the died with COVID from the died from COVID?
What percent of children..that did NOT get the jab died from COVID?
RE: Why did insurance actuaries report increased excess deaths not until AFTER the injections?
I would appreciate your providing a reliable source ( link ) for this information.
RE: Fewer unvaccinated have died than those vaccinated or boosted... study shows and has been released from UK.
Could you kindly provide a link for this information? Thanks.
Does it matter? Either way you are less likely to die if you’re vaccinated.
What percent of children..that did NOT get the jab died from COVID?
Pretty small.
It manipulates the numbers.
I hadhad COVID twice.
In both instances I had a very small chance of dying.
Can’t say what the odds are..had I opted to take the shots...that I would have had a reaction to the jab.
Or, I would have dropped over dead in a matter of hours after getting the shot.
Getting the jab would not changed my odds of living.
The best CLAIM they can’t make is that the jabs lessen the severity of the symptoms.
This would only benefit the elderly and/or people with pre existing issues.
It did not stop the transmission of the germ.
And the mask were worgless.
And for a this..they nearly ruined our economy.
Giving it to children was just plain ghoulish.
Much of the “science” our government presents has been twisted by a political and economic interest filter. It basically is selling a politician, party (Covid), or is making someone a fortune (Ozone hole). This so called science has a bit more of an objective and relevant appearance on the surface, but today's standards are so low that even a basic analysis reveals how it's also just trash. However, this is trash which gets FORCED upon you through the law and regulations, i.e. forced shut downs of private businesses, mandatory social distancing, closing churches, telling people they are forbidden to gather in groups even in their own homes... mandatory masking, mandatory vaccines... And what did it all achieve?
Truth is Covid and how our government reacted flew in the face of decades of established science and medicine where we KNEW masks do not work (even Fauci admitted that earlier), and where historically we quarantine those at risk, let the disease run it's course and then use the herd immunity achieved to protect those at risk after the wave passes.
The term “science” has become another badge that you stick on some agenda or argument to give yourself credibility. It's another slogan that needs to be added to any movement in order to appear as the logical and smart way of doing things. However, people are no longer discerning/discriminatory enough to separate what is fake from real. They lack even the most basic reasoning skills and that is why the “science” behind Covid took off like it did. The “science” behind Covid:

Appeal to emotions: “This will be the winter of sickness and death for the unvaxxed.” https://www.cnn.com/2021/12/16/politics/joe-biden-warning-winter/index.html
However, what was missing in all of this were actual arguments, real empirical measures (they were almost all BS, the vaccines efficacy, death rates, side effects of vaccine)... Today we live in a world where “science” is bent to give one the answers we are looking for and that is as true for Covid as it is with the zero emission vehicle, climate change models, ozone hole... The only real common denominator here is that the people are to stupid to question what is blatant deception and should get people with college degrees that have a basic understanding of math and statistics throwing these lies around, fired.
Can't we just do it like this? If you pay Pfizer and Moderna $1,000 per head, you can not get the vaccine and live a normal life... and politicians will leave you alone, in the home of the free and brave where you have privacy rights with HIPAA.
Lysenkoism, plain and simple. Same people, same purpose, same result (mass starvation).
