Chile at 20.1% is now Number Two in the world for fully vaccinating its population against COVID-19. (1)
Chile overwhelmingly uses the Chinese Sinovac vaccine. (2)
The vaccination effort began from Feb 2, and by Feb 23 16% of the population had received one dose. (3)
Yet cases began to soar Feb 23, at which time 0.3% of the population was fully vaccinated. (4)
Deaths commenced their recent steep ascent beginning Mar 27 (5), about one month after cases began to soar, at which time 17.1% of the population was fully vaccinated (7) and 33.5% of the population partially vaccinated. (3)
Daily new cases per million on Apr 2 is breaking records in Chile. (6)
The point of vaccines is to prevent serious illness and death. The recent uptick in deaths after the uptick in cases despite the vaccines is very troubling.
