Delta version: 43% of those killed in the UK were vaccinated – DUNA 89.7

delta version It has once again put the world’s population at risk after it was declared much more transmissible than the original strain and already more infectious than the more infectious alpha (British) version.

It has been a staple in infections in the United Kingdom for some time – a country where cases have been low – but they have had a major resurgence in recent weeks.

The struggle to reach the maximum number of inoculated is becoming more and more present in a country where infection is transmitted to adults and children, eventually affecting those who are vaccinated.

according to the data of Public Health England, As of June 21, out of 92,000 cases of the Delta variant, 117 deaths were recorded. Of these, 50 (ie 43%) had already received two doses of one of the vaccines available in that country.

Taking the proportion into account, only 0.12% of the total number of people infected with the delta variant died, with 0.05% having a complete vaccination plan (far from the large number of deaths before vaccines).

So far, experts in that country do not believe the number of vaccination deaths is a cause for concern.

“When we have 100% of the population vaccinated, 100% of the dead will be vaccinated, and that explains why the percentage of 43% is high, because they have the vast majority of the vaccinated population in the United Kingdom and this It is important to highlight that the protection that a vaccine provides is not 100%, no one protects completely”, he explained. infobae Rodrigo Quiroga, researcher in bioinformatics at the National University of Córdoba, Argentina.

These are the UK daily cases since March 2020:

These are the deaths in the UK since March 2020:

If we zoom in to the last month, the new cases of COVID-19 exceeded 20,000 during July 2021:

And if we bring the dead close to July 2021, the trend is up, but remains low:

“There is a higher percentage of the vaccinated population and while there is still viral prevalence, the number of deaths will continue to be vaccinated. This explains how worrying and dangerous these highly infectious forms are. Vaccines against COVID-19 in European country showing potential to prevent serious illness and hospitalization which is practically identical to the variant circulating here in Argentina, i.e., the ability to prevent serious illness and hospitalization is practically not reduced and is promising as the United Kingdom has a large number of daily cases “If they did not have a high level of vaccination, the number of trainees and deaths would certainly be much higher”, the expert explained, citing the example of the Trans-Andean situation, where the number of vaccinations remains low.
