According to a new study conducted by the European Office of the World Health Organization (WHO) “at least 1.4 million lives” in Europe have been “saved thanks to safe and effective Covid 19 vaccines: without them, the cumulative toll of the European region would have been around 4 million deaths, perhaps even higher.” Thus Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO regional director for Europe, at a press conference. “Our analysis of 44 countries also found that more than 90% of lives saved were among people over the age of 60,” he added, specifying that “overall, Covid 19 vaccines have reduced deaths by 57% in the European region of the WHO between December 2020, when the administration of vaccines began, and March 2023″. “Only the first booster doses – he explained – saved around 700,000 lives”.
