Summary of reported deaths Up to and including 2 October 2021, a total of 86 deaths were reported to CARM after the administration of the Comirnaty vaccine. Following medical assessments by CARM and Medsafe it has been determined that:
31 of these deaths are unlikely related to the COVID-19 vaccine
26 deaths could not be assessed due to insufficient information
28 cases are still under investigation.
1 death was likely due to vaccine induced myocarditis (awaiting Coroner’s determination)
By chance, some people will experience new illnesses or die from a pre-existing condition shortly after vaccination, especially if they are elderly. Therefore, part of our review process includes comparing natural death rates to observed death rates following vaccination, to determine if there are any specific trends or patterns that might indicate a vaccine safety concern. See below for more information about these observed-versus-expected analyses.
To date, the observed number of deaths reported after vaccination is actually less than the expected number of natural deaths. Mortalities by age group up to and including 2 October 2021 reported to CARM
If you’re not yet vaccinated, if you’re still weighing up the risks vs. benefits, then this is to you.
186 beds.
186 staffed adult and paediatric ICU beds.
That is all we have in NZ.
The “surge capacity” you hear about involves crisis staffing. Stopping elective surgeries. It involves a significant reduction in the quality of healthcare available to you, for any illness or injury you may have.
The 1400 extra nurses “trained” to staff this surge capacity?
Their training was a 4 hour online training module and 4 hour simulation skills session.
For reference, a normal orientation period for an ICU nurse is between 216-240 hours over 6 weeks.
This allows them to look after a ‘straight forward’ ICU patient safely without direct supervision from a preceptor.
So a scenario: those ICU beds I mentioned? They’re already at least half full of patients right now.
Maybe your immune system lives up to your expectations and you get through covid ok. But not everyone will. Those beds fill up.
Surge capacity kicks in.
What happens if you get appendicitis? What happens if your appendix ruptures while you’re waiting 6 hours for an ambulance because they’re overwhelmed with calls?
What happens when you get sepsis while waiting hours for your surgery because most of the operating theatres have been converted to use as ICU beds?
What happens when you need an ICU bed, but the bed you get is in the corner of a post anaesthetic care unit with a nurse looking after you who has never seen the inside of an ICU?
They’ll do their best. We all will.
But will it be enough?
Read the scenario again, but imagine it’s your child. Your husband, or wife.
Your mother/brother/father/sister/aunty/uncle/best friend.
If you are unsure, if you are still weighing up the risks and benefits, make sure you are getting your information from validated sources providing you with evidence based information to base your decision on.
Because while everyone is wondering how many people they will be able to have over for Christmas this year, our intensive care teams are wondering how they will possibly care for the amount of patients coming to spend Christmas with them.
