Scientists warn of “factories for mutated corona strains”

With the continuing epidemic of the “Delta” strain of the corona virus emerging in Britain, almost half of the recent deaths recorded in the country are due to people who have received vaccines against the infection, and despite this, the issue has not raised the concern of scientists and doctors for various reasons, according to “The Wall Street Journal”.

According to public health data in Britain, 117 deaths from infection with the delta variant have been monitored, as of June 21.

The journal confirmed that 46% of those deaths are linked to people who received the two full doses of the vaccine.

According to the journal, scientists believe these numbers support the vaccine’s effectiveness, for reasons including that not all vaccines are 100% effective, and people respond to them unevenly.

The journal said that older people, or those who have problems with their immune systems or suffer from other serious illnesses, are less likely to develop a strong immune response compared to fitter and younger people.

The newspaper added that the risk of death from Corona virus infection increases with age, which means that “if the vaccine reduces the risk of an 80-year-old dying from Covid-19 by 95%, per For example, the risk of death for an 80-year-old may remain higher. »The risks incurred by an unvaccinated 20-year-old.

She also explained that even if there was a “fictitious country, 100% of its population was vaccinated,” the virus could still spread, and in that case, all deaths would be among those vaccinated.

The rapid spread of the delta variable has led to the re-imposition of preventive restrictions in a number of countries around the world, and even caused what one might call a “collapse” of the health sector in countries like the United States. India.

The World Health Organization warned on Thursday of the risk of a new epidemic of the emerging Corona virus, due to the spread of the delta strain in Europe, as the number of infections increased to one ” alarming rate “in Africa.

The epidemic does not save Asia either. As of Thursday, Bangladesh has been under a complete shutdown, while Indonesia has announced restrictions to counter the rise in infections, which will come into effect on Saturday.

And the European branch of the World Health Organization expected Thursday to become a “dominant” delta mutant by the end of August on the old continent.
