A study says that those vaccinated against COVID-19 are less likely to die from other diseases

Not only are people who get vaccinated against the coronavirus less likely to die from the virus, they are also less likely to dying from any other cause during the months following immunization. This has been revealed an investigation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC by its initials in English).

The study was intended to show that the COVID-19 vaccines that have been licensed in the country are safe, and experts have succeeded. As a conclusion, the researchers highlight in this study that “recipients of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen vaccines had a mortality risk without COVID-19 lower than the groups comparison unvaccinated “.

On statements to CNN, Stanley Xu, researcher and director of the study team, also added that the research shows that “people vaccinated against the coronavirus had lower mortality rates than those who were not vaccinated, even when COVID deaths were excluded“.

That adds, the expert highlights, to growing evidence from other studies showing that “COVID-19 vaccines are effective against COVID-19 infection, serious illness and death.”

More specifically, we studied 6.4 million people who had been vaccinated against the coronavirus and compared them with 4.6 million people who had not been vaccinated against the coronavirus. In this way, it was shown that “between December 2020 and July 2021, COVID-19 vaccine recipients had lower rates of non-COVID-19 related mortality than unvaccinated people after adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, and the place of study “, as indicated in the aforementioned text.

One of the explanations that the researchers find for these results has to do with the fact that probably people who get vaccinated tend to be healthier than people who don’t. “Lower Risk of Mortality After COVID-19 Vaccination Suggests substantial effects in healthy vaccinated people (that is, vaccinated people tend to be healthier than unvaccinated people), which will be explored in future analyzes, “they have indicated in the report.
