CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said at a Thursday White House briefing that preliminary data reviewed by her agency suggests 99.5% of the people who died from Covid-19 over the past six months were unvaccinated, a stunning statistic in support of her assertion that nearly every virus-linked death is now preventable.

Key Facts

Walensky said the early data "from a collection of states" indicates nearly every coronavirus victim since January—a month after the U.S. first began administering shots—was not vaccinated against the virus. 

She emphasized this as a reflection of the efficacy of vaccines, which she insisted have made virtually all virus-linked deaths entirely avoidable. 

The CDC director juxtaposed the positive signals of vaccine efficacy with the threat of the more infectious delta variant, which she said now makes up an estimated 25% of new cases.
