Na luta por direitos, as mulheres se defrontam com inúmeras desigualdades

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” Na luta pela igualdade de direitos, as mulheres se defrontam com inúmeras desigualdades” que precisam ser vistas e interpretadas de forma que, toque as pessoas, as mobilizem, gerando assim, um sentimento de ( culpa, dor) para que determinados temas possam ser discutidos em sociedade.

Unvaccinated Americans Are 11 Times More Likely to Die of Covid, C.D.C. Reports – The New York Times

Three studies that drew data from different U.S. regions evaluated the protective power of the vaccines. One looked at more than 600,000 virus cases in 13 states, representing about one quarter of the U.S. population, between April and July, and concluded that individuals who were not fully vaccinated were far more susceptible to infection and death from the virus.

They were 4.5 times more likely than vaccinated individuals to become infected, 10 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 11 times more likely to die from the coronavirus, the study found.

Vaccine protection against hospitalization and death remained strong even when the Delta variant was the dominant form of infection. But the vaccines’ effectiveness in preventing infection dropped from 91 percent to 78 percent, the study found.

The studies underscore a series of similar findings in recent weeks.
