At a press conference WHO Europe head Hans Kluge said the continent could see half a million more deaths by February.
He blamed insufficient vaccine take-up for the rise.
“We must change our tactics, from reacting to surges of Covid-19 to preventing them from happening in the first place,” he said.
The rate of vaccination has slowed across the continent in recent months. While some 80% of people in Spain are double jabbed, that number is lower in France and Germany – at 68% and 66% respectively – and lower still in some central and eastern European countries. Only 32% of Russians were fully vaccinated by October 2021.
Mr Kluge also blamed a relaxation of public health measures for rising infections in the WHO’s European region, which covers 53 countries including parts of Central Asia. So far the WHO has recorded 1.4 million deaths across the region.
Dirty fucking Europeans. Wash your hands!
Hey WHO, what are China’s numbers like? Is there any reason we should take you seriously yet?
75.6 % fully vaccinated in the EU/EEA, means almost 110 mln unvaccinated people. No wonder there is a new wave.
Cool winter is coming that COVI-19 active agiaain
Guess who’s back, back again?
Rona’s back, tell a friend.
is it time to just declare it as seasonal illness?
Ooohhkaayy.. Just when I have my trip planned for early next year o__o
Isn’t Europe the most vaccinated continent in the world?
Vaccination is delayed because, in principle, some idiots waited for others to be vaccinated and the measures to be written off. This is a matter of collective responsibility, the state is not only the politicians we have elected and the most outspoken groups in the community. If we anticipate how stupid the politicians have acted in relation to the epidemic in some cases, I imagine that under greater pressure we will “slam the shutters” again, under conditions of rising prices in the consumer basket and bills. Be responsible and think critically.
