Personally, I think mitochondrial dysfunction deserves more attention than the virus.
Cumulative Findings
As of data received through May 8, 2023, the New York State Department of Health is aware of:
- 2,823,097 laboratory-confirmed breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among fully-vaccinated people in New York State, which corresponds to 19.1% of the population of fully-vaccinated people 5-years or older.
- 119,202 hospitalizations with COVID-19 among fully-vaccinated people in New York State, which corresponds to 0.81% of the population of fully-vaccinated people 5-years or older.
To understand the above statistics, it is important to consider that they reflect not only the effectiveness of vaccines, but also changes over time in the intensity of the epidemic, circulating variant strains (such as Omicron), and protective behaviors (e,g, masking and social distancing) against COVID-19, as well as the growing number of people fully-vaccinated in New York State.
To measure the real-world effectiveness of vaccines in reducing cases and hospitalizations, compared to unvaccinated people, additional information and analyses are necessary. One approach is to compare the rates of cases and hospitalizations among vaccinated people to the rates of these outcomes in unvaccinated people, over time.

New Yorkers may have had higher mortality due to environmental pollutants and other factors which affected mitochondrial function.Protective effect of N-acetyl cysteine on the mitochondrial dynamic imbalance in temporal lobe epilepsy: Possible role of mTOR
Excerpt:
In animal models studies, NAC improves mitochondrial function by controlling the mitochondrial membrane potential and decreasing membrane permeability, which leads to apoptosis (Amrouche-Mekkioui and Djerdjouri, 2012; Sandhir et al., 2012; Basha and Priscilla, 2013).
