A FIFTH of US Covid deaths could have been prevented had victims been vaccinated, analysis finds

    An analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that one-fifth of COVID-19 deaths in America could have been prevented by the Covid vaccines
    The analysis finds that 163,000 people who died of the virus would not have if they had chosen to get vaccinated
    Early data on the Omicron variant shows that the newly discovered strain may be able to evade vaccine protection
    The virus is currently the third leading killer of Americans, only trailing cancer and heart disease

Approximately 168,000 of the 800,000 U.S. COVID-19 deaths could have been prevented by the Covid vaccines, a new analysis finds.

The Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) analyzed Covid death data in the U.S., and found that tens-of-thousands of deaths over the past six months could have been prevented if people had gotten vaccinated.

They used the death rate among fully vaccinated people - who do occasionally die from the virus despite the overall rarity - and calculated how many unvaccinated people would have lived if they had received the jab.

How did they correct for different variants, for things like ADE, and for other confounding factors?

I believe that the vaccines have mitigated deaths, but I find it hard to believe that it would be up to 1/5th.

Originally funded by Kaiser Permanente money. Consistently pro-Democrat, pro-Obamacare and pro-official government narrative on Covid.

 "Kaiser Family Foundation Shows Political Bias in Report on COVID-19 Misinformation," at TrialSiteNews:

In a November 8 press release aimed at identifying sources of COVID-19 misinformation, the Kaiser Family Foundation evidenced a strong prejudice in favor of official narratives, without regard to whether “misinformation” is actually false. In a blatant political conclusion, KFF writes that folks who trust, “Network and Local Television, CNN, MSNBC, and NPR,” believe little-to-no false beliefs, while those who listen to conservative outlets like “Fox News Hold Many Misconceptions.”

Sounds made up.  Probably pro-vaccine pablum puke fear mongering propaganda.
