BY KEVIN DUGGAN
An infi nitesimal number
of New Yorkers who received
the COVID-19 vaccine have
tested positive for the virus,
while almost all people hospitalized
with the illness had
not received their shots, according
to new city Health Department
data announced on
Aug. 25.
“Here’s the common sense
bottom line: vaccines keep
you alive and out of the hospital,”
said City Health Commissioner
Dr. Dave Chokshi
at Mayor Bill de Blasio’s daily
press briefi ng on Aug. 25.
Of fully-vaccinated New
Yorkers, 0.33 percent were diagnosed

and 0.003 percent died of the

Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects nearly 20 million
Americans. It usually begins in the lower legs, feet and toes, but over
time, can advance into the hands and fingers. In the past, the only
treatment available has been oral medications and injections, both of
which have provided little or no relief.
We utilize several safe, effective and natural therapies that have helped
people get relief of most, if not all, of their symptoms...even diabetics.
Our treatment program has a high degree of lasting success as long as
nerve damage doesn’t reach critical levels. Usually, once nerve damage
reaches 85%, nothing can be done.

Aug. 25. “Yes, there are some
breakthrough cases, that’s
true, but the bottom line is vaccine
overwhelmingly works
on things we care about the
most, which is stopping people
from being hospitalized, stopping
people from coming up
with the most severe illnesses,
and certainly, most importantly,
protecting lives, stopping
people from losing lives
to COVID.”
The Health Department
collected the data from January
August, including several
months before the more contagious
Delta variant started to
drive a resurgence of cases in
June.
Data from more recent
weeks show that unvaccinated
people are 13 times more likely
to end up in the hospital with
COVID compared to inoculated
people. Those without the
shot are also three times more
likely to be infected in the fi rst
