The excess physician death rate evaporated once COVID-19 vaccines became widespread, researchers found.
confirms that more US physicians died from March 2020 to December 2021 than usual.
In December 2020 alone, 70 more physicians died than expected. After April 2021, however, the rate of excess deaths returned to prepandemic levels. The leveling off occurred around the time vaccines became widely available, Kiang and co-authors note. In addition, personal protective equipment had become more available.
"We can be relieved that excess deaths among physicians was not even higher than it was, given their importance in our COVID-19 response. I also believe excess deaths in the overall population was far too high," Kiang said.
