Uncoupling of all-cause excess mortality from COVID-19 cases in a highly vaccinated state
Authors: Chengan Du, Chenxue Liang, Shu-Xia Li, Zhenqiu Lin, Harlan M. Krumholz
The findings suggest that the mortality toll of the omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 was neutralized in a state where vaccination is widespread, further strengthening the case for sensible public health tactics.
