Extensive life-saving effect

Statistical modeling, based on data from excess mortality, vaccine efficacy, and vaccination rates, shows that the Covid vaccine had a significant impact on survival during the pandemic. The vaccine reduced the risk of severe illness, hospitalizations, and deaths, according to Our World in Data.

Statistics show that death rates were notably higher among unvaccinated individuals, particularly during periods of virus outbreaks.

The Covid vaccine saved an estimated 20 million lives during the first year the vaccine was available.

Rapid development was crucial

The rapid development of the vaccine was made possible by several factors. The research received extensive funding compared to other diseases, which led to many vaccine candidates being developed and tested in clinical trials.

The clinical trials were conducted faster than usual due to high interest in study participation. Because virus outbreaks were widespread, the vaccine's potential effect could be observed more quickly.

Different phases of clinical trials were conducted in parallel - phases 2 and 3 ran simultaneously - along with regulatory review. This meant that all steps could be completed in a shorter time period.

Warp News has previously written about the achievement of creating the vaccines in such a short time.
