Why? It's a basic risk calculation. The risk of something going wrong by wearing a seatbelt vs not wearing a seatbelt.
The same calculation is made when assessing any medical procedure. There is a risk with any medical procedure. What are the odds of an adverse event if you do take the vaccine vs if you don't? At the moment, with 99% of the COVID cases in Victorian hospitals being unvaccinated and not a single death of a double vaccinated Australian (happy to stand corrected on this), it provides some compelling evidence that these vaccines are doing what they are intended to do.
There have been a stack of double vaccinated deaths:
From the 8th-14th in NSW:
There were 21 deaths as a result of COVID-19 reported this week including a male in his 30s (un-vaccinated), two females in their 40s (both un-vaccinated), a female in her 50s (un-vaccinated), two males (one fully vaccinated, one un-vaccinated) and three females (one fully vaccinated, two partially vaccinated) in their 70s, two females (one fully vaccinated, one un-vaccinated) and five males (all un-vaccinated) in their 80s, and two females (both un-vaccinated) and three males (one partially vaccinated, two fully vaccinated) in their 90s.
What I want to know is what constitutes double vaccinated in Australia? I've seen people suggest that after only after two weeks from your second shot are you fully vaxxed and three months after that you're only considered partially vaccinated due to waning efficiency but haven't been able to find a source for it.
