The majority of Americans dying from Covid are vaccinated for the first time ever.
An analysis of official data found that 58% of Covid deaths in August were in people who were vaccinated or boosted.
Experts caution this is always expected because such a large majority of the population has received at least the standard two-dose regimen.
Those more likely to die from Covid, for example the elderly and immunosuppressed, are also more likely to be vaccinated, further skewing the ratio.
But it is also true that as Covid has mutated, the vaccines have become less effective — with regular boosters required to top-up immunity.
In September last year, 23% of Covid deaths were in vaccinated people, and by February this year, this had risen to 42%.
It comes as the White House offers discounts on groceries to Americans who get the new bivalent Covid booster in a desperate bid to boost uptake of the vaccine.
Official data shows there are around 2,000 Americans dying with Covid every week now compared to around 8,000 this time last year.
At the peak of the pandemic in January 2021, there were more than 20,000 people succumbing to the virus every seven days.
A hugely successful vaccine campaign and repeated waves of infection helped slash the severity of Covid, along with the weaker Omicron variant.
Some 69% of Americans have been given at least two doses of vaccine, the equivalent of 230 million.
But uptake of the new, bivalent boosters which target Omicron specifically has been sluggish, with just 11 per cent of eligible people taking up the offer.
White House Coronavirus response coordinator Dr Ashish Jha claimed on Tuesday that 'essentially every Covid death in America' could be prevented if Americans get their bivalent booster and get treated for any breakthrough infections.

Everyone — I mean EVERYONE I know — has gotten Covid 1x or 2x, and I’m unscathed, so far.
Four adults that have been vaccinated and boosted.
There are four that have not been.
The four that have been vaccinate have had the WuFlu multiple times.
The four that have not have had it once or not at all.
I can understand people being fooled once but you people are nuts who are still taking it. Good luck when the truth comes out.
DUH...Overwhelming majority of Americans are vaxxed. Simple logic tells you most deaths will be among the overwhelming majority.
Death rate in 2022 is not significantly different than in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
America needs to get down to the 42%... That’s a nice reasonable amount of Americans.
Some drank the cool aide and went back for 2nd and 3rds
and here comes the excuses...
Well, that settles it then...it means it MUST be safe. I mean you and everyone you know...WOW.
Your comment is just as stupid as those that scream "EVERYONE IS GONNA DIE!!!", only worse, because you are nominally defending the side of those that put sick people in nursing homes, lied about the efficacy of masks and the shots, deatroyed the economy and got filthy rich in the process.
With 7 co-morbidities, I was told I had no choice.
I’ve taken my last shot in January.
No more, except for perhaps fall flu shots and huge amounts of 9 OTC vitamins, with my 27 Rx pills, daily.
I’ve had no ill effects and not so much as a mild cold.
As I said, no more.
Your reply is the only thing that’s STUPID.
That's a lotta sheep.
Baaaaa !
An analysis of official data found that 58% of Covid deaths in August were in people who were vaccinated or boosted.
However,while this weighs against the vax being as effective and necessary as promotes, to make a against vaccination (and I have not been vaxxed) then it is the percentage of deaths among the vaxxed versus unwaxxed that matters.
For instance, far more white persons are arrested for motor vehicle theft than the next largest race, but it is the percentage of the population that each one comprises of the total is what determines any racial significance.
“IF THE GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU ITS GOOD PEOPLE, IT IS ACTUALLY BAD!!”
Preach it my FRiend!
The stats from the beginning showed the youngsters were virtually immune with a case fatality of 0.001%. In addition to the reported vax deaths, not sure what else there is to say.
Soooooo “effective”!
(NO ONE has been “vaccinated”.)
Exactly
I’m now calling it experimental mRNA cell therapy - it certainly seems to do weird things to your blood cells
Yeah, because they don’t, and very likely are worse than NOT getting them.
Seems to be a good time to bring this one back:
Since my teens I’ve done pretty well assuming that NOT doing what the government suggests is the best path forward
Look at the shit they push in health (food pyramid, carbs, heart healthy veg/seed oils) in education , in personal safety, how they handle money —why would any same reasonably intelligent person believe a f@&king word they say about anything, esp an experimental vaccine?
The majority of the USA has had the shot. Thus it is logical that the majority of covid deaths are among those receiving the shot, it is not a vaccine. It is also logical to conclude the shot does not protect you from infection, from transmitting the disease nor death.
Dr. Fauci is a liar, fraud and charlatan. Dr. Mengle killed a few hundred thousand in the German Concentration Camps. Dr. Fauci’s actions killed millions. Dr. Fauci’s actions were not taken due to ignorance. He is an evil man.
