COVID cases and fatalities surge in Russia

 What happens when not enough people get vaccinated. The Russians are very scared of vaccines, and will even buy fake vaccination certificates. 



CBS News reporter Mary Ilyushina takes a look at spiking coronavirus infection rates in Russia. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients and the death toll is rising. And with low vaccination rates and an increasingly apathetic public, it's unclear when the country's latest COVID-19 wave will end.

DW: Russia's COVID-19 hospital beds at 2/3 capacity as they see record death toll 


COVID-19 case numbers in Russia are surging in a 4th infection wave. 973 people died on Tuesday - that's Russia's highest official daily death toll since the start of the pandemic.   


The number of deaths in the country has been high since the summer. But the curve has risen sharply in the last few weeks, with the delta variant and vaccine hesitancy driving the spread. DW's Moscow correspondent Juri Rescheto has more on how serious the situation in Russia now is with COVID-19.

  2. “The Russians are very scared of vaccines, and will even buy fake vaccination certificates.”

    If that is true, then evidently Russians don’t trust politicians, pharma companies, or corporate media outlets.

    For you this proves that Russians are evil.

    For me it shows that they are intelligent.

    Regarding claims by CBS News and Deutsche World, this brings up the fundamental impasse that we can never move beyond. You believe everything they claim about “Covid,” whereas I don’t believe anything they claim.
