Increased Number of COVID-19 Deaths Among Vaccinated Americans
Increased Number of COVID-19 Deaths , Among Vaccinated Americans.
CNN reports as COVID-19 vaccines became available, there has been a stark divide in
deaths between those who received a
vaccine and those who did not.
.
But experts say as vaccine
protection has diminished, .
More transmissible variants have made coronavirus deaths closer to an even split.
In recent months, breakthrough
infections have heightened risks
for vulnerable populations.
According to federal data, less than 25% of deaths occurred in vaccinated citizens during the peak of the Delta Variant.
Comparatively, vaccinated Americans accounted for over 40% of deaths at the height of Omicron.
Experts say those who have only received the first series of coronavirus vaccines may be three times more likely to die.
Almost no one in this country should be dying from Covid.
