Dr. fauci, welcome back once again to "meet the press," sir. >> thank you, chuck. thank you for having me. >> it's disconcerting to realize we have nearly 10,000 people die of covid in this most recent month that we completed in june. how preventable were each one of those deaths, and how many of them were unvaccinated? >> well, if you look at the number of deaths, about 99.2% of them are unvaccinated. about 0.8% are vaccinated. no vaccine is perfect, but when you talk about the avoidability of hobblizations and death, chuck, it's really sad and tragic that most all of these are avoidable and ...

Describe the ramifications of the choices that these two countries are making. let's take a look. these are deaths in june from covid-19. 99.2% of the people who died of covid-19 last month were unvaccinated. .8% were vaccinated. i don't think there are any other numbers that puts out this stark choice that people have. when you don't get vaccinated, you are running this risk of dying from covid-19. it is bewildering why people would choose not to get unvaccinated or why people would choose not to get vaccinated. let's take a listen to some dr. fauci said on this yesterday. >> it is all the mo...

Vaccination rate, has seen over 100% rise in daily cases over the last two weeks. we're seeing this. 55% increase in florida. we're seeing this in states that are lagging, and you're right, it's a vred/blue split. >> i read this morning that 99.2% of covid deaths in june were unvaccinated. it's remarkable. but there is still vaccine hesitancy in a big portion of the population. a new "washington post" poll found that nearly three-quarters of people who do not plan to get the vaccine say u.s. officials are exaggerating the risk of the delta variant. i wonder where they might have heard that. pa...

Sorry, keep going back and forth. let's take a look at the deaths. 99.2% of people who died of covid in june they were not vaccinated. 0.8 of people who died in june were vaccinated. you do not need to be a mathematical genius to figure out that if you get vaccinated, you are protecting yourself. choose life. why would you want to choose death? i completely don't understand this. that number tells you everything you need to know. now, let's take a look at the numbers of vaccinated and unvaccinated people in the u.s. you just talked about it, but it bears repeating. 66% of americans have had at...
