COVID’s Nightmare in Russia Being Fueled by Vaccine Rejection

An ambulance crew carries yet another Covid patient, an elderly man battling to breathe and barely alive, near the darkened entrance of Hospital Number One in the city of Vologda in Russia’s northwestern region.

The wards of the hospital are overflowing with the sick and dying. According to local doctors, 700 of the 750 patients at the hospital with Covid had not been vaccinated. Every day, lives are lost in this region, and this is just one of Russia’s numerous regions. Russia has been hit particularly hard by the Covid pandemic, which began in March 2020 and is currently facing a very dangerous fourth wave of the virus.

More than 1,000 individuals die per day in the United States, for a total of more than 220,000 deaths. These are unprecedented figures for Russia, making it Europe’s worst-affected country.
