This is still a developing story because the data was only dropped a few hours ago. So there may be corrections etc.
But here are the key points as of now.
The above graph shows the number of COVID-19 Deaths by Age and Vaccination Status - the red bar shows COVID Deaths of boosted patients.
But since 72% of the population is boosted, the other side will argue that the majority are boosted, which is why the number of deaths is higher (i.e. base rate fallacy). Also note that I simply took a screenshot from the official government site.
But if we look at the All-Cause Mortality data per 100K of each vaccination status, we can see that the blue bar (boosted) started outpacing from March 2022 onwards. Within the last six months of 2022, boosted patients died almost four times compared to the unvaccinated and fully vaccinated.
It looks like the Booster was the Kill Shot!
Source (@Bronwyn_Meikle) who requested the data through Official Information Act request. These were not officially published in Stats NZ.
(Update: Please read pinned comment on this data).
The NZ Booster campaign officially started on Oct 6, 2021, and peaked around early March of 2022, which is in alignment with the increasing rate of Boosted deaths.
Total Deaths increased by 10.5% in 2022.
This is the most significant jump ever in the last ten years, surpassing double digits for the first time! What happened? In fact, during the worst year of the Pandemic, when we did not have the life-saving vaccine, deaths decreased by 5.1%.
(Correction: most significant jump ever in the last 100 years)
