Kuala Lumpur: Former Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan says COVID-19 vaccine may have saved his life after he fell ill.
He has detailed his battle with Covid-19 despite having received two doses of a Covid-19 vaccine.
He fell ill with the virus which he contracted during the EURO2020 final.
Morgan was excited that, “Football is coming home” and England has not reached a final since he was 16 months old.
“I have to be there.”
His wife had said, ‘Well so long as Covid isn’t coming home too.’
Writing for the Daily Mail, Piers has commented how lucky he has been to be vaccinated.
“Of course, the big and very fortunate difference for me is that vaccines have since been developed and I’m double-jabbed with the Oxford/AstraZeneca one.
“But what we don’t really know yet is exactly how effective the vaccines are at preventing serious illness or worse – apparently two jabs of AstraZeneca reduce the risk of infection by 65 to 90 per cent, symptomatic disease by 70 to 85 per cent, hospitalisation by 80 to 99 per cent, and death by 75 to 99 per cent – and given how bad I currently feel, that’s an unsettling uncertainty.”
