Last month, 130 people died of Covid-19 in Maryland. None of them were vaccinated, according to Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan.
In addition, unvaccinated people made up 95% of new Covid-19 cases in the state and 93% of new Covid-19 hospitalizations, Hogan said at a news conference Wednesday.
The connection between vaccination status and Covid-19 is not specific to Maryland and is not limited to last month, medical experts have said.
Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine, said Maryland's data is a trend that will be seen in states across the country.
"No question that almost all of the deaths and hospitalizations will be in unvaccinated individuals, and therefore we should expect most of severe illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths will occur predominantly in areas of low vaccination and high Delta," such as in the South and Mountain West, he said.
"So far it's confirming what we saw with Phase 3 clinical trials: That all of the vaccines authorized for emergency use give extra protection against hospitalizations and deaths, so this has been confirmed now in very practical settings over the past year," Hotez added. "It's a reminder that you have every reason to get vaccinated."
Dr. Paul Sax, an infectious disease doctor at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, similarly highlighted the Maryland data as evidence of the continued effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines.
"We're finding that 99% of the people with severe disease are unvaccinated, so the vaccines are preventing severe disease, even from Delta," he told CNN on Wednesday.
Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, gave similar numbers during a White House briefing last week.

Or..... the patients were so old, or so fat that it wouldn’t have made a difference.
anyone who dies and was vaccinated, died from the vaccination.
this is the lying govt and their lying lap dog media....
if you haven't got vaxxed, you probably haven't had covid and if you haven't had covid, your immune system must be alright....
again an analogy...if the govt said they had a cure for cancer would it take them begging, threatening, showering people with lottery wins, or free money, etc to get you to take it?.....
NO!
So using their logic vaccinated people don’t need to worry about dieing from Covid then why do they care if some choose not to get “the jab”?
There are people who've battled it for months (with lung damage after respirators).

What about the unvaccinated people who don’t die?
BTTT!!!
would we be happier if vaccinated people died of covid? or if no one died of covid, vaccinated or not? or if everyone died tomorrow? or if all vaccinated people grew a dork on their forehead?
I know we hate the story, but I’m wondering what we think the truth may be.
Best post I’ve read in awhile. This Hotez guy is a snake oil salesman of the worst sort. Read the linked article and the letter from Attkisson’s legal gunsels.
I heard these numbers being pushed on local radio and now I know the source. Thanks.
So if only unvaccinated people die from Covid, then why should a vaccinated person care if there are unvaccinated people?
The vaccines work to prevent disease and are available to those who want them
This.
Bwahahahaha!
That number approaches zero; it is so small. The number may even be zero.
If I was stupid enough to live in MD I would believe it!
