Unvaccinated account for nearly all COVID-19 deaths in Alabama: health official

An Alabama state health official on Friday revealed that nearly all of the COVID-19 deaths in the state were among people who were not vaccinated against the virus.

State Health Officer Scott Harris told The Associated Press that just 26 of Alabama's 11,600 COVID-19 deaths were people who were fully vaccinated, and almost 2,000 COVID-19 patients currently being treated in state hospitals are unvaccinated.

"I think it's correct to say that we wouldn't see these kinds of numbers if we had more people vaccinated," Harris said. "Again, the case numbers are being driven by people that aren't vaccinated, which is unfortunate."

Alabama has reportedly seen a drop off in the number of residents who are opting to get vaccinated. Harris noted Friday that the state has seen a surge in hospitalizations and severe illness as a result.

This is why elected republicans are passing anti democratic legislation to give themselves the power to pick who wins if they don’t like who the people elect. They know the math is against them. And it will be forever more.
