Linda Gail Bekker said: “If enough people get vaccinated, we get this other, very important additional value, which is known as herd immunity. All that means is that enough people are protected that the amount of virus actually circulating drops very low. We all benefit, even if we have not been able to get vaccinated. That can only happen when sufficient numbers of people in the population have been vaccinated,”

Linda Gail Bekker said: “We can control the epidemic, fewer people will get infected, fewer people will get severe illness and in the long run we will save lives. Vaccines save lives.

Debattörer som är kritiska mot restriktionerna i samhället pekar gärna på statistik från före millennieskiftet för att visa att coronaviruset kanske inte var så dödligt som Världshälsoorganisationen till en början befarade. Framför allt håller man fram år 1993, då en elakartad influensa spreds och 97 008 personer dog. Samtidigt som 1,6 miljoner färre människor levde i Sverige.

De lever mycket längre och därför blir inte jämförelsesiffran relevant, säger Johan Brun. Går det då att se hur dödligt coronaviruset är i andra myndigheters statistik? Folkhälsomyndigheten redovisar antalet personer som avlider inom 30 dagar efter en påvisad coronainfektion. Myndigheten kallar det att man dör med covid-19. Det uppstår problem direkt,

Johan Bruun menar: – Har du en positiv odling de senaste 30 dagarna innan du dör kopplas dödsfallet till covid-19 oavsett om du cyklar ihjäl dig, dör i en bilolycka eller ramlar i slalombacken. Så felkällan är stor. Kanske Socialstyrelsen då . Myndigheten tar inte hänsyn till positiva laboratorieprover, utan statistiken bygger på läkares dödsorsaksintyg. När en läkare skriver ett dödsorsaksintyg följer han eller hon en internationell standard för att beskriva kedjan av händelser som ledde fram till döden. Finns covid-19 med som utlösande faktor, bekräftat eller ej, registrerar Socialstyrelsen det som att man har dött av covid-19. Bilolyckor och liknande sållas bort. Men att utifrån Socialstyrelsens statistik slå fast hur dödligt ett virus är blir också problematiskt,

Milloin positiivisesta testistä määritetään muuntuneita viruksia ja milloin pelkkä pcr-testi riittää? Kivirannan mukaan kaikista ulkomailta tulleista positiivisista näytteistä määritellään tällä hetkellä myös virusmuunnoksia. Lisäksi, jos jossakin tartuntaketjussa on jo todettu virusmuunnosta, se määritellään kaikista tämän ketjun positiivisista näytteistä. Jatkotutkimus eli niin sanottu sekvensointi siis tehdään, jos sairastunut tietää olleensa tekemisissä jonkun kanssa, jolla on ollut virusmuunnosta. ”Kolmantena ryhmänä osasta väestön positiivisia näytteitä tehdään jatkotutkimuksia satunnaisotantana”,
