highs, but the nation hasn't recorded a single virus death since May.The COVID-19 situation in Iceland is proof that vaccines work, a leading US infectious disease expert has said.
Iceland reported 2,847 new infections over the past month, mostly from the highly infectious Delta variant, and most in fully vaccinated people, according to official statistics. This is the highest number of new infections in a month since the start of the pandemic, but vaccines appear to be doing their job - the vast majority of new infections are mild at worst.
Of the 1,239 Icelanders that were recorded as having COVID-19 on Sunday, just 3% were in hospital, data showed.
The country hasn't recorded a single COVID-19 death since May 25, according to government statistics and Oxford University's Our World in Data.

Our 99 percent unvaxxed hospital covid populations also proves they work. I would imagine they're working all over the globe wherever people are vaxxed.

Iceland hasn't recorded a single COVID-19 death since May 25 ... Iceland has a high infection rate in its population but because of the vaccinations they have no deaths
