Iceland is proof that C-19 vaccines work. The nation hasn't recorded a single virus death since May

Thanx to Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin for posting this yesterday.

Iceland is proof that COVID-19 vaccines work, a leading US expert said. Infections are at record
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.

***********

This new wave of infections and deaths in America is not because of the delta variation but because
we have a % of mouth breathing dumb asses who refuse to get vaccinated.
