Iceland is currently experiencing a massive spike in COVID cases despite having one of the world’s most vaccinated populations. The country with a total population of just over 350,000 has recorded at least 100 new cases for five straight days, beginning on August 3. The current spike in cases has been ongoing since mid-July. Since then, the country has been registering anywhere from 50-150 cases daily.
Before the current outbreak, Iceland was recording a very low amount of cases. Prior to the current spike from mid-July onwards, the island nation was posting new cases in the single digits. Now they are dealing with their worst outbreak since late March, according to covid.is data. Among Iceland’s current COVID surge, there is a high number of fully vaccinated individuals testing positive for the virus. On August 5, 77 of Iceland’s 106 new COVID cases were recorded in fully vaccinated individuals. 33 of the day’s cases were recorded among unvaccinated individuals while two others had received one dose of a two-dose vaccine. On August 4, the country reported 151 new cases. Of those 151 cases, fully vaccinated individuals accounted for 94 of them while 55 had not been vaccinated. Another two had again received just one dose. This trend of more positive cases among vaccinated versus unvaccinated Icelanders holds all the way to the start of the current surge. Source: covid.is Iceland is currently one of the most vaccinated countries on earth. Roughly 71% of the population has received at least one dose of a vaccine while 52% are fully vaccinated. On Tuesday, the country’s Chief Epidemiologist Þórólfur Guðnason said that Iceland’s high vaccination rate has not led to herd immunity as experts had hoped. Officials blamed the spike of cases on the “Delta variant”, saying it is more transmissible than previous strains.
The country initially lifted domestic restrictions on June 26, 2021 only to have them reimposed less than a month later. Gatherings are limited to less than 200 people and masks are mandated in buildings where social distancing guidelines cannot be met. Officials said they expect the restrictions to last […]

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
