MorgueMOSCOW, 8 Feb. Researchers from the UK have estimated the likelihood of death from coronavirus among vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The relevant data was distributed by the Office for National Statistics, whose specialists analyzed 70 thousand cases of deaths from COVID-19 in England for the period from July to December 2021. It turned out that the death rate from coronavirus among fully vaccinated in all age groups, as well as those who received additional, booster dose of the vaccine is significantly lower than that for unvaccinated people. In particular, the age-adjusted risk of dying from COVID-19 between July and December last year was 93.4% lower compared to unvaccinated people. .jpg» />The symptom that precedes breathing problems in «omicron» is named Mutation B.1.1.529, known as the SARS-CoV-2 omicron strain, was identified in Botswana and South Africa at the end of November. It carries dozens of transformations in the S-protein necessary for the pathogen to infect cells. According to scientists, many metamorphoses in the genome indicate a high transmissibility of this species and resistance to protective antibodies. Omicron has been identified in more than a hundred countries, including Russia. Vaccination remains the most reliable way to protect against infection. To date, more than 80 million Russians have been fully vaccinated with two doses, and the herd immunity level is estimated at 64 percent.
