A Stanford University-led investigation into the COVID-19 vaccination effort reports that it averted an estimated 2.533 million deaths and 14.8 million life-years worldwide between 2020 and 2024.

Amidst much controversy in the public sphere, a worldwide vaccination campaign took place to counter the novel and deadly COVID-19 virus as it spread to every corner of the globe. As the pandemic spread, so did misinformation, disinformation, and real-time updates on risk and prevention that occasionally changed as events unfolded.

Around 7 million people died as a direct result of the virus. Estimating the human toll prevented by vaccines remains a crucial question, both for public education and for future public health planning.
