Evidence (2023-06-16): Among adults aged ≥65 years who were unvaccinated or had received a bivalent COVID-19 vaccine booster dose, 8,161 COVID-19–associated deaths in the 20 U.S. jurisdictions were reported during September 18, 2022–April 1, 2023. Overall, 58% of deaths occurred among adults aged ≥80 years; this distribution was consistent among vaccinated and unvaccinated persons and across the three variant periods. Mortality rates among adults aged ≥65 years peaked in December 2022 during the BQ.1/BQ.1.1 predominance period. Higher mortality rates were observed among unvaccinated persons during all three periods of Omicron lineage predominance (Table).

Evidence (2023-08-02): Morris also said he had analyzed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data on the frequency of deaths among Medicare patients within two weeks of vaccination, and found that the rate in 2021 after the COVID-19 vaccines was "roughly equivalent" to the rate in 2018 to 2020 following the influenza vaccine. Both of these reflect a background rate of death. [...] If the CMS data is accurate, Morris told us, it provides "rock solid evidence" that a larger proportion of deaths that occur after vaccination were reported to VAERS in 2021 for the COVID-19 vaccines than in prior years with other vaccines.

Evidence (2023-03-07): During April 4–December 25, 2021, a total of 6,812,040 COVID-19 cases among unvaccinated persons and 2,866,517 cases among fully vaccinated persons were reported among persons aged ≥18 years in 25 U.S. jurisdictions; 94,640 and 22,567 COVID-19–associated deaths among unvaccinated and fully vaccinated persons, respectively, were reported by December 4 (Table 1). Average weekly, age-standardized rates of cases and deaths (events per 100,000 population) were higher during periods of Delta predominance and Omicron emergence than during pre-Delta and Delta emergence periods and were consistently higher in all periods among unvaccinated persons (range = 64.0–725.6 [cases] and 1.5–11.4 [deaths]) than among fully vaccinated persons (range = 7.4–230.9 and 0.1–0.7).

Evidence (2022-01-23): On October 22, 2021, this report was posted online as an MMWR Early Release. [...] VSD, a collaborative project between CDC’s Immunization Safety Office and nine health care organizations, collects electronic health data, including information on vaccines, for specific studies. In this cohort study of VSD members aged ≥12 years, vaccination status through May 31, 2021 was determined. Index dates were assigned to all persons on the basis of the distribution of vaccination dates among vaccinated persons.¶ Person-time for unvaccinated persons included unvaccinated person-time before COVID-19 vaccination among COVID-19 vaccinees, and unvaccinated person-time of persons who did not receive a COVID-19 vaccine by May 31, 2021. To ensure comparable health care–seeking behavior among persons who received a COVID-19 vaccine and those who did not (unvaccinated persons), eligible unvaccinated persons were selected from among those who received ≥1 dose of influenza vaccine in the last 2 years. Separate unvaccinated groups were selected for mRNA and Janssen vaccines.** Deaths were identified through VSD, which captures hospital deaths and deaths reported to health plans. In this study, non–COVID-19 deaths were assessed because a protective effect of COVID-19 vaccination for COVID-19–related deaths was expected.

Evidence (2022-02-09): What’s more, the CDC separately tracks fully vaccinated people who have only received the primary vaccination series.

Evidence (2022-09-30): Raw numbers of hospitalizations or deaths among those who are vaccinated are not a good indicator of whether vaccines are effective. If the large majority of a population is vaccinated, it’s not surprising if most deaths are among the vaccinated. But social media posts misuse data from the U.K. to suggest the COVID-19 vaccines don’t work. Epidemiologists and biostatistics experts have been cautioning that as more and more of a population gets vaccinated, we’ll likely see more deaths from COVID-19 among the vaccinated. It’s simply math. The vaccines aren’t 100% effective — no vaccine is — so some deaths are expected. And if there are relatively few people still unvaccinated, the raw numbers of deaths are likely to show more deaths among the vaccinated. [...] The death rates for the unvaccinated are three to five times higher than the rates for the vaccinated among the 60-and-over age groups.

Claim: "Ron Johnson has voted against funding for law enforcement and recently opposed a plan to recruit and train new officers " (Mandela Barnes, 2022-09-02)
Evidence (2022-09-02): Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes cited a decade-old vote by Sen. Ron Johnson in favor of a balanced budget, but the best suggestion is cuts to law enforcement might have happened down the line as a result of the measure. They were not part of it. Likewise, Johnson’s vote against the American Rescue Plan Act’s COVID-19 relief act did not directly mean a loss of money for law enforcement. And Johnson’s criticism of a newer plan from President Joe Biden that included police training money was indirect at best.
