American studies showed that people who are not vaccinated against the Covid-19 are 11 times more likely to die from infection than those who received the vaccine.
One of three studies published by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, reported that people who were not fully vaccinated in the spring and summer were 10 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 11 times more likely to die than those who were fully vaccinated.
A second study showed that the three vaccines used against Covid were 86% effective in preventing hospitalization due to infection with the virus, while the third study concluded that the effectiveness of the vaccines “weakened somewhat when the delta mutant became prevalent, especially among people who have reached 65 years of age.”
The three reports came the day after US President Joe Biden announced on Thursday, imposed strict new vaccine rules on federal workers, large employers and health care staff in a sweeping attempt to contain the latest surge of Covid-19 infections and stop the anti-vaccine movement.
The World Health Organization announced that the Covid-19 Delta variant remains the “most concerning” coronavirus strain despite the emergence of the Mu variant, and it appears to ‘outperform’ other mutations.
Since it was first detected in India in October, Delta has rapidly spread to at least 170 countries, including the U.S, Russia, Portugal, Spain and Morocco, quickly becoming the dominant variant in many of those countries according to the international health agency.
