Italy’s Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) said Tuesday that almost 99% of the COVID-19-linked deaths registered in Italy since February regarded people who had not completed the vaccination cycle for the coronavirus.
It said 423 of the coronavirus sufferers who died between February and July 21 had completed the vaccination cycle, meaning they were doubled jabbed or had a single-dose vaccine.
This was around 1.2% of the 35,776 deaths registered in this period.

The ISS added that the average age of the people who died after completing the vaccination cycle was high(86.3 years compared to 80) and the number of pre-existing conditions was higher than average too.
How come a person vaccinated with a full cycle can get seriously ill and die?
A possible explanation, according to the agency is that “very elderly patients with numerous pathologies may have a reduced immune response and therefore be susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and its complications despite having been vaccinated”.
It is known that even the most effective vaccines, those with RNA, reach protection of 95%. And it is also known that the response of the immune system of the elderly to the vaccine is often weaker than that of the young.
The presence of hospital-acquired infections in a share of vaccinated deaths suggests that their immune system may not function at its best.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, their average age is 82 years and women are much less than men (43.5% of the total). Since the arrival of vaccines, which have been administered as a priority to the elderly, the average age of deaths has moved down. Today it has reached the age of 72.
Young victims are rare, but they are not absent. Out of the total of 127,000 victims, 1.2% (in all 1,479) were under the age of 50. Below 40 there are 355 cases (221 men and 134 women). Among them, 44 people had no pre-existing diseases. Under the age of 60, the chronic diseases that most put the health of the infected at risk are obesity (present in 30% of the deceased) and diabetes (in one in four victims).

Compared to the appearance of symptoms, on average hospitalization occurs after 5 days and death after 13. Compared to the first wave, the second and third waves saw the death of people who had a worse health condition even before Covid.
