What Happened When 70 Percent of Australians Were Vaccinated?

Why do some people think that a chart depicting when 70 percent of Australians were vaccinated is a sign of fraud and not that COVID vaccines are safe and effective?

The death rate in Australia, even after 70 percent of people were vaccinated, was highest in those who were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.

The usual suspects…

What Happened When 70 Percent of Australians Were Vaccinated?

So what exactly is Andrew Bridgen trying to say?

The death rate in Australia, even after 70 percent of people were vaccinated, was highest in those who were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.
This chart of daily deaths in Australia during the COVID pandemic doesn’t show what anti-vaccine influencers what you to think it shows.

Andrew Bridgen, the Member of Parliament who compared COVID vaccines to the Holocaust, is saying that the majority of deaths in Australia came after most people were already vaccinated.

Most of you with any understanding of the COVID pandemic, will quickly know how to explain his chart.

Why might someone who is vaccinated get COVID?

Why might deaths increase after many people had already been vaccinated?

The death rate in Australia, even after 70 percent of people were vaccinated, was highest in those who were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.

That’s right – COVID variants!

“The large-scale Omicron outbreak in January 2022 resulted in a massive number of cases and deaths, although mortality would have been far higher if not for vigorous efforts to rapidly vaccinate the entire population.”

And because Australia had a late to start to getting folks vaccinated, when the Omicron surge hit, most high risk people had not yet received a booster dose of their COVID vaccine.

So what’s the other reason to see COVID deaths?

The death rate in Australia, even after 70 percent of people were vaccinated, was highest in those who were unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.
Tragically, the death rate from COVID was the highest in those who were not vaccinated or who had just gotten one dose of a COVID vaccine.

That’s right, there were still COVID deaths because not everyone was vaccinated or fully vaccinated.

“As shown in Fig 4A, the unvaccinated death rate is greater than that for any other vaccination status group, demonstrating that the unvaccinated are highly over-represented amongst COVID-19 deaths.”

Still, Australia did much better than many other countries, including the United States!

“If the United States had the same Covid death rate as Australia, about 900,000 lives would have been saved.”

And it’s a good bet that they did it by not listening to propaganda from folks like Andrew Bridgen and Steve Kirsch…
