Yahoo reveal: 2,000 fully vaccinated 70-year-olds died from Covid in England
More than 2,000 people over the age of 70 and fully vaccinated have died from Covid in recent weeks, according to a revelation made by Yahoo England
The UK is certainly one of the western countries that has paid the heaviest price in this health crisis. While the number of cases has already crossed the 40,000 mark, the number of deaths due to Covid is also counting in the thousands. In the past 30 days, as revealed by several sources including the Evening Standard media , more than 210 people have died from Covid.
It is in this context that the Yahoo London office made a major revelation widely shared by the English-speaking press. Indeed, according to this source, more than 2,000 people over the age of 70 and fully vaccinated have died of Covid in the past 4 weeks in England.
The source says it has this information from the UK Health Security Agency, a government agency that advises Boris Johnson's government in managing the health crisis. According to the source, it is therefore 2,447 people vaccinated with two doses who lost their lives against 558 in the unvaccinated.
The media provide supporting figures. Thus, according to Yahoo, in people over 80 years of age, the death rate in people vaccinated with two doses is 53 per 100,000 against 125 per 100,000 in people over 80 who have not taken dose.
In the age group of people aged 70 to 79 years, the death rate among the vaccinated is equal to 14 per 100,000 compared to 47 in people of the same age group who have not been vaccinated.
It must be said that this revelation comes in an extremely tense context where the United Kingdom is facing an exponential increase in cases. Moreover, on November 5, the British media The Guardian , citing British health experts, warns that cases could experience a sharp increase this year.
