DISINFO: Almost half of Lithuanians who died from COVID-19 were fully vaccinated
SUMMARY
In Lithuania, more than 40 per cent of people who died from COVID-19 was fully vaccinated.
RESPONSE
Disinformation about COVID-19 coronavirus and vaccination.
This message is misleading and aims to undermine trust in vaccine efficacy. The official statistic (as of the end of October 2021) shows that in Lithuania 80 per cent of those who died from coronavirus COVID-19 was not vaccinated at all. It means, that in Lithuania only 20 per cent of people who died from COVID-19 was fully vaccinated or got at least one shot of the vaccine. At the same time is should be remembered that vaccinated people, especially old persons with more fragile health or lower immune protection are at higher risk.
