Trinidad also has the highest death rate of ANY independent island nation AND has a death that is more than 3½ times the world average.
If Stuart Young had not closed the borders before the first local COVID-19 death and locked down the country, there would have been a higher death rate.

Thought it was higher given that they say the death rate wss 3.5%.
But 4400 of 1.5m is 0.26% or sumting.
Whole country went in disarray for dat?
Normal death rate is 12,000 a year.
But 4400 over 3 years... So like 1460 per year...

COVID vaccinations helped to lower the crude case mortality rate to what it is now - about 1%.
Trinidad would be expected to have less than 2000 total COVID-19 deaths, but the recorded number is more than twice that. It seems as if Trinidad suffered more deaths than was necessary. Maybe anti-vaccination sentiment and misinformation caused it.
It seems as if the data and the reports on the site that your screen shots are from just didn't make any sense to you at all - because all of what I have just written is right there.
Most of the world vaccinated to prevent hospitals from overcrowding -- and soon after, COVID-19 deaths leveled out.sMASH wrote:World average includes countries with low vsx rates... Try againadnj wrote:sMASH wrote:'Helped lower'

So while I don't doubt vaccines saved lives.
I think a real analysis has to be done whether or not the lockdowns were worth the damage to businesses, education, peopel's mental health, other health care and tests that were de-prioritised over covid.
It maybe that more lives might have been lost because of lockdowns rather than covid itself.

At the same time, poor, dumb, easily mislead Trinidadians became even more afraid -- afraid of how a COVID-19 vaccine would kill them. But COVID-19 killed them instead.
Exactly. There is no need to worry about an extra few thousand deaths, overflowing hospitals, or running out of oxygen. /sMmoney607 wrote:Doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of people did not need the vaccine as it was a very mild virus

Delta was very prolific and and it didn't kill everyone. Also T&T was very poor with following protocols meaning loads of people were exposed and we didnt experience a population collapse. Was it a ruff virus yes but ... you cant trust any figures since a covid death was someone who died with and from covid. So deaths were actually overestimated.
The vaccine didn't save the world from Delta ... vaccines did reduce deaths and hospitalizations but only really to people vulnerable to the virus. They did'nt stop transmission and were therefore useless in stopping the pandemic. They were essentially nothing more than your own personal flotation device in a flood.
Omicron is what ended the pandemic and saved the world from Delta, morons like adnj and harsh irresponsible governments with their lockdowns that gonna drive us into economic Armageddon which mark my words is coming.
The financial system is screwed and everyone is running around thinking its back to normal.

This is the most intelligent, level headed common sense made before book sense post I've seen in 3 years since COVID.
Not the part about adnj though, meen getting into that

To add to this, you have to take into account that physicians were paid a COVID Bonus and would have some sort of incentive for saying that someone died with COVID died OF it.
I'm reminded of that 14 year old girl that they wrote about in the papers, who was wider than she was tall, that they put as a COVID death, she died of comorbidities and not COVID in and of itself.
Adding as well, this new variant also has more of a chance of infecting those who had COVID or have been Vaccinated against it than those who haven't, the CDC has finally admitted to this, which seems to be some sort of related Antibody Dependent Enhancement. https://www.cdc.gov/respiratory-viruses ... riant.html
To me, it seems as if the medical community have forgotten basic molecular biology and believe that a virus that mutates every 6 weeks is capable of being vaccinated against, especially with a vaccine that was made for the first strain.
Going back to my books and seeing the research on MERS, or when SARS broke out close to the start of the millennia, they said specifically that this would be something that would be impossible to vaccinate against, it would be similar to making one for the Rhinovirus which also mutates quickly. To me, it seems like operation warp speed just made alot of pharmaceutical companies quick money and the hysteria made things worse with half measures and overreactions.
Hopefully, they don't make horrible decisions again on this new strain.

Problem is Immunology and Molecular biology has advanced significantly from year to year. In 2005 when I did immunology the book was a third of the size of the text used in 2012.
Plus doctors are trained to follow the protocols and not question/think for themselves.
Combine that with the sinister interests of the 0.0001% and were screwed the next time around again.

Oh MERS-CoV was in 2012 and publications came out in 2013 to 2014, my journals and such are updated to 2015. I mean sure, it's advanced from 2005, but they came to the same conclusions then, and even Pfizer in 2019 said it was impossible to do and only picked up operation warp speed because Moderna took the project anyway.....

Yeah you are on point.
Also besides the rate antigenic drift/shift of the virus thats makes it near impossible to make a vaccine that works.
You also have to contend with the fact that its impossible to stop transmission with a vaccine for a virus with a short incubation period.
Any virus with an incubation period of less than 4-5 days means you will develop symptoms and shed virus before your immune system can mount an immune response from memory T and B cells.
Meaning you can't stop transmission.

Influenza, RSV and COVID have a similar mutation rate.
RSV and COVID have a similar incubation period while influenza's incubation period is about one-half of that.
Influenza, COVID and RSV all have a vaccine.
