Washington: Almost all deaths due to Covid-19 in America are among the people who did not get inoculated. This is proving how effective the vaccine is. The number of daily deaths in the US has come down to 300, and if all eligible people are vaccinated, this number can come down to 0 as per reports.

The Associated Press has analyzed government data since May. This shows out of 853,000 cases of breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated people, less than 1,200 were admitted to hospitals. About 0.1% are getting admitted to the hospitals. At the same time, out of 18,000 Covid-19 deaths in May, only 150 people were fully vaccinated. which is about 0.8% or an average of 5 deaths per day.

45 states report breakthrough infection
This has come to the fore from an analysis of data provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC citing data limitations did not give an estimate of hospitalizations and the number of deaths from those fully vaccinated. CDC officials said that about 45 states report breakthrough infections, and some are more aggressive than others. The data probably understates such infections. 

98% of Americans who died of coronavirus were not vaccinated
Earlier this month, Andy Slavitt, a former adviser to the Biden administration on Covid-19, said that 98% to 99% of Americans who died of the coronavirus had not been vaccinated. And CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Valensky said on Tuesday, "vaccine is so effective that it can prevent nearly every death due to Covid-19, especially in adults." He described such deaths as particularly tragic. The number of deaths in America has decreased since vaccination. 

 According to the CDC, about 63% of all eligible Americans aged 12 and older have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and 53% have received both.
