TORONTO – A young doctor from southern Ontario, very popular on social media, is publishing all the results of her research on vaccines online, to make them available to everyone. A huge and valuable work, which is providing useful data that everyone can access.

She is Jennifer Kwan (in the pic below, from her Twitter profile), a family doctor based in Burlington, Ontario: a graduate of McMaster Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine and trained in the McMaster Family Medicine Residency program in 2017, today she has a Twitter profile with 71,500 followers, a YouTube channel full of insights and video interviews and a website (https://jkwanmd.com/) updated daily with graphs and visualizations of data collected during the Covid-19 pandemic to help the public and doctors to interpret the epidemiology of the virus in Ontario. 

Well, from the data collected by the epidemiological reports of public health of Ontario, Kwan’s research shows, scientifically, that in the period between June 12 and July 10, 95.7% of cases, 97.4% of hospitalizations , 99.5% of ICU admissions and 95.8% of deaths occurred in unvaccinated or partially vaccinated patients.

Between June 12 and July 10 (as seen in the table above, posted on social media by the doctor), out of 265 deaths in individuals with confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Ontario, Dr. Kwan’s calculations show that 225 (84.9%) were not vaccinated, 29 (10.9%) were partially vaccinated, 11 (4.2%) were fully vaccinated. Of the 11 deaths in fully vaccinated cases, one was between the ages of 60 and 69 and 10 were 80 and over. In the same time frame, there were 211 ICU admissions to Ontario hospitals. Of these, 177 (83.9%) were unvaccinated, 33 (15.6%) were partially vaccinated, and 1 (0.5%) were fully vaccinated. The only fully vaccinated ICU admission was 80 years old and over. Of 758 hospitalizations for confirmed Covid-19 cases in Ontario, according to Public Health Ontario, 570 (75.2%) were unvaccinated, 168 (22.2) were partially vaccinated, and 20 (2.6%) were fully vaccinated.

Here is the breakdown by age group of the 20 fully vaccinated individuals admitted: 2 aged 30-39: 1 aged 40-49, 1 aged 50-59, 7 aged 70-79, 8 aged 80+. Of the 6,129 total confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Ontario between June 12 and July 10, 3,491 (57.0%) were not vaccinated, 456 (7.4%) were still unprotected (within 14 days of receiving the first vaccination), 1,920 (31.3%) were partially vaccinated and 262 (4.3%) were fully vaccinated. Of these 262 cases in fully vaccinated individuals, 167 were symptomatic and 95 were asymptomatic.

Dr. Kwan’s research continues.
