Stanford-Led Research Reexamines COVID Vaccine Effectiveness in Preventing Deaths

UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – A global study found COVID-19 vaccines saved 2.5 million lives and 14.8 million years of life, mainly benefiting people over 60, with one death prevented per 5,400 doses.

  • The World Health Organisation estimated that COVID-19 vaccines prevented 14.4 million deaths globally in the first year, but a Stanford study suggests the true figure is closer to 2.5 million.
  • The study indicated that most lives saved were among individuals over 60, with only 299 lives saved among those under 20.
  • Concerns have risen about the vaccine's safety for younger populations, with over 17,500 claims submitted in the UK for vaccine damage.
  • Researchers criticized 'aggressive mandates' for vaccines, stating that early estimates relied on parameters incompatible with current understanding.
