Rising COVID-19 cases in Iceland are not proof that vaccines are a “failure”, despite claims made online. The screenshot is of a tweet published on June 25, which reads: “Social distanciation [sic] and masks are back in one the most vaccinated nations of the world: Iceland. Yesterday, 82% of the new cases were fully vaccinated ( here ).” On July 24, the day prior to the tweet, Iceland recorded 87 cases. Of the total number of positive cases, 71 were fully vaccinated, which equates to 81.6%, which indeed rounds up to 82% ( www.covid.is/data ). Meanwhile, 14 were unvaccinated and 2 were partially vaccinated. The tweet is accompanied by a graph, showing 7-day average case numbers per 100,000 people (blue) and vaccination rates (red).
