US surpasses 1,000,000 Covid deaths as report finds nearly a third could’ve been averted with vaccines
The Metro says the US reached the unimaginable milestone of one million Covid-19 deaths on Tuesday, according to data collected by Johns Hopkins University.
The tragic milestone was reached as a report led by Brown University and Brigham and Women’s Hospital found that at least 318,000 of the deaths could have been prevented had people received the Covid vaccine.
The new analysis concluded that nearly one-third of the Covid-related deaths confirmed between January 2021 and April 2022 could have been prevented if more people received their vaccination against the virus.
Findings from the study suggest that at least ‘every second person’ who died from the coronavirus since vaccines became available might have been spared had they gotten the vaccine.
