A new study suggests a tie for first place
to develop a vaccine against covid-19 was a matter of life and death. A recent study found that in 2021,. Researchers at Airfinity, a life-sciences data firm, have used those numbers—along with data on which shots were most widely administered in each country—to estimate which one averted most deaths.
To estimate how many lives each type of vaccine had saved, Airfinity drew on a recent study by epidemiologists at Imperial College London. This study estimated the number of deaths averted in the first year of vaccination, which started on December 8th 2020. The company’s researchers then distributed these lives saved between jabs. To do so they relied on each vaccine’s share of inoculations by country by the time the study ended.
The study that Airfinity built on excluded China, where fewer data are available, as well as tiny countries with a population of less than 90,000. That suggests that all numbers should be a bit higher, and especially those for the Chinese jabs—though the limited spread of the virus in China also means the impact of their absence from the study is not as great as it might have been.
