La pandémie de la Covid-19, qui a touché la quasi-totalité des pays et territoires du globe terrestre, continue à générer des millions d’infections et de décès. Pour l’éradiquer, les pays mobilisent d’énormes efforts pour vacciner leurs populations et réussir ainsi à atteindre l’immunité collective. L’objet de ce Papier est d’évaluer l’efficacité de la vaccination anti Covid-19, autrement dit sa capacité à stopper réellement la progression des infections et des décès. Pour répondre à cette interrogation, un travail de recherche a été effectué par les auteurs, pour estimer les premiers impacts potentiels de la vaccination dans un certain nombre de pays qui ont les taux de vaccination les plus élevés (Israël, Etats-Unis, Royaume-Uni) et au sein de l’Union européenne.

    He is 81 years old, and obviously, his job is not joyful. Or, rather some people he is dealing with, are not just angry about him, but outright murderous. Just a few days before Christmas, a man identified as Kuachua Brillion Xiong, was stopped by police on a highway in the state of Iowa, his car loaded with an AR 15 assault rifle, ammunition, and body armor (Des Moines Register, December 30, 2021) The  25-year-old Californian resident was on his way to Washington, DC- to kill ...

    His message was one of reassurance, just as a great leader has to react in a crisis. The concerns about Covid 19 was nothing but “a frenzy and psychosis”. The President knew the secret to defeat the virus: vodka, sauna, tractor. Didn’t a US president named Donald Trump suggest  that toilet cleaning disinfectants chase the virus out of infected lungs on national television? (New York Times, April 24, 2020) That was Trump-speak, sure, but the man who uttered the tractor/vodka/non ...

    COVID-19 has ravaged nearly every country in the world, with the globalization of recent decades intensifying its spread. As of mid-2021, the world had spent $16.5 trillion—18% of global GDP—to fight the disease. And that amount does not even include the most important losses such as deaths, mental health effects, restrictions on human freedom, and other nonmonetary suffering. Nearly 90% of this spending was by developed economies, with the rest by emerging market and developing eco ...
