“In the United Kingdom, “70-plus percent of the people who die now from COVID are fully vaccinated.”

PolitiFact rated this: False

PolitiFact says: The statistic applies to England, not all of the U.K. The unvaccinated are still much more likely to die from COVID-19: The death rate — the number of deaths per 100,000 people — is much higher among the unvaccinated.

FactCheck.org says: Berenson based his claim on unvetted information submitted to a federal database. It is not used to determine death rates. The CDC has not received confirmation of a single COVID-19 vaccine-related death.
