During a FOX News interview, where Dr. Redfield was invited to discuss the passing of Colin Powell, he claimed that more than one out of every three COVID patients dying in Maryland were fully vaccinated. They told us that fully vaccinated people represented 32% of all COVID deaths in those eight weeks. "From Aug 23 - Oct 18, 32% of the 405 deaths among confirmed COVID cases were in fully vaccinated individuals," a Maryland Health Department spokesperson said. "As the number of our residents who are vaccinated continues to increase, we expect to see an increase in the proportion of COVID-related deaths occurring in vaccinated individuals," a Maryland Health Department spokesperson said. So we can Verify, the claim that "more than 40%" of COVID deaths in the state were among the fully vaccinated in the eight weeks prior to that interview, is false.
