Data Doesn't Lie: The revealing but curious case of South Australian Covid-19 data

What happened in 2021?

"Data from South Australia makes a curious case. Why? Of significance, and unique to South Australia (SA), is that prior to the border opening on November 23 2021, SA had only had 922(1) cases of SARS-CoV-2/Covid-19 (herein Covid-19) since the start of the pandemic. As such, there was minimal to no Covid-19 in the state for most of 2021 (and 2020). However, in 2021 in SA there was an increasing Covid-19 vaccination rate with 88% of the SA population over the age of 15 “fully vaccinated” with 2 doses by the end of 2021. This creates ability for comparison of data between “pre-Covid” (2019, 2020), “pre-Covid but high vaccination” (2021), and “high Covid with high prior vaccination and boosters” (2022). It is noted that there were then 10,157 cases of Covid-19 reported from the time of the border opening on November 23 to the December 31 2021 SA Health report(2). As such, for the majority of 2021 South Australia had a highly vaccinated population with little to no Covid-19 in the state."

Below is a recent Cleveland Clinic study data which shows the risk of Covid-19 infection increased with the increased number of doses of Covid-19 vaccine. The more doses you have, the more likely you are to be infected with Covid-19.
