Many may not realize that to date, COVID-19 has been more deadly in 2021 so far then COVID-19 deaths in 2020. 

Why? This is a global statistic and although vaccines have driven down the number of deaths in the United States, the United Kingdom, and China, the worldwide burden of the COVID-19 pandemic is devastating.

Globally, 1.8 million died in 2020 while over 2 million have died in 2021. What is fueling this statistic? The lack of global availability of vaccines and the variant strains of the coronavirus are two of many issues.

Many myths about COVID-19 infections, as well as COVID-19 vaccines can be found on social media. It is very hard to debunk myths on social media once they get started and unfortunately, there are many myths about the COVID-19 vaccine.

Yes, this is not really new since we have been talking about these myths for over a year. However, you still hear reasons for not getting the vaccine on a daily basis that are truly myths.

It would be nice if the completion of scientific studies debunking these myths got the same attention on social media. How often do we talk about the science?

Ohio, like the rest of the nation has seen a recent small spike in the number of COVID-19 cases. While this is disappointing since the numbers had being going down, there is hope with a third COVID-19 vaccine getting Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) this week.

The vaccines are working and more vaccines to the public means more protection from this pandemic.
