The link I included for the AMA survey with the pdf only for the respondents from Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, General Medicine, Pediatrics, OB/GYN in the WebMd programme is the final report for this specific group that is now public.
I don't have access to the respondent's final report for the other medical fields that included medical interns, medical residents, respirologists (pulmonologists), neurologists, anesthesiology, cardiology, critical care medicine, clinical immunology/allergy, diagnostic radiology, and many other subspecialties...
- I will post the links for those pdf files in the Health & Science section of the forum and not in this thread about Ivermectin for those interested in knowing how America's Doctors feel about the vaccine considering we're still active with the Delta Variant.
Those above mention medical occupations will involve the complete +230,400 and maybe more considering vaccinations are still occurring. I will have access to the info when the final report for the +230,400 remaining sample size for the survey that was not part of the WebMD.
- Simply, the Pandemic is still ongoing and Doctors and Nurses, or other medical personnel are still being vaccinated.
My brother and his wife were
not part of the WebMD program final report. They are part of the above-mentioned subspecialties that will release final reports
later in the year. I believe it's scheduled to be released in October by the AMA in pdf format as the first group shown at the above link.
As for the ANA, they have their own sample size but I do not have access to it. Yet, my sister an emergency room nurse stated their final report will be for
ALL surveyed and not parts like the AMA.
- She expects their results to be near the +65% vaccinated...an improvement from the initial percentage I mentioned of 53% when initially surveyed about those planning to be vaccinated and why others plan to not be vaccinated. Note: I not know the sample size of those that stated they "planned to be vaccinated".
To contrast the above, here's another survey to be transparent by the AAPS @
https://www.prnewswire.com/news-rel...n-physicians-and-surgeons-aaps-301314028.html
Their sample size is bigger but shows
60% not fully vaccinated and they mention a critical aspect that the AMA did not mention...AAPS survey had included those that had Covid. Thus, have a level of immunity for whatever is currently argued among scientists about how long immunity lasts after surviving an initial Covid infection.
In addition, the AAPS survey had an interesting question that would indicate if they were retired
or currently practicing. That's an important question considering most retired Doctors are actively participating and influencing their community...the latter will have impact on the perception of vaccination.
Also, not mentioned but a different topic not suitable for this thread about Ivermectin, I will have access to data about
Covid reinfections...currently not zero. I know of only one verified reinfection case...a retired military soldier that was infected (survived) in Kentucky...months later he traveled to Missouri and was reinfected with the Delta Variant in which
@Buy1Sell2 stated was false involving the Delta Variant surging problem in Missouri.
For the JAMA study, researchers looked at deidentified data on more than 3.2 million patients who had a recorded antibody test for the novel coronavirus between Jan. 1 and Aug. 26 of last year. Of those patients, 378,606 tested positive for coronavirus antibodies, indicating they had been infected with the novel coronavirus at some point previously.
The researchers then examined whether that subset of patients later tested positive on a diagnostic test for the virus, which would indicate they were currently infected. The researchers reviewed the results of diagnostic nucleic acid amplification tests conducted on the patients within 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, and longer intervals after antibody testing.
According to the researchers, 11.3% of the patients who tested positive for antibodies also had a positive diagnostic test for the coronavirus within 30 days, 2.7% had a positive diagnostic test result within days 31 to 60, 1.1% had a positive result within days 61 to 90, and 0.3% had a positive result at more than 90 days.
In comparison, among the 2.9 million patients who had tested negative for coronavirus antibodies at the outset, 3.9% had a positive diagnostic test for the coronavirus within 30 days. According to the researchers, "That proportion remained relatively consistent at approximately 3.0% over all subsequent periods of observation, including after 90 days."
---------
I currently do not have access to the pdf info for the above and it too is not a final report obviously with the currently Delta Variant but they too released a report strangely as if it was a final report.
- I'll post a link to any data for such in another thread here at the forum specific to the topic of reinfections.
This particular topic involving
reinfections I'm strongly interested in than anything else involving Covid because of the ongoing increasing mutations, length of immunity due to my academic background.
