“most of the deaths are for un-vaxxed people”
“I can certainly confirm this. Most of the covid patients in the hospital are not vaxxed.”
Arkfreepdom recently reported the same where he is.
The Indian “Delta” variant (B.1.617.2),may be something to keep on the radar screen.
It is about 4% of US cases, but it is the most transmissible of the variants of concern, and spread really quickly in India and the UK (where it is now already dominant, and delaying re-opening).
Two more features of note:
- Apparently it effects younger folks more than the others
- it is reported to have a particular ability to breakthrough in those with only a single shot, of the two dose vaccine.
I am not sure if that is just the AstraZeneca vaccine, or if it includes the Pfizer and Moderna as well.
The UK deliberately delayed second shots (12 weeks), to get more people first shots quicker. That worked well with the other variants, but the Indian variant seems to breakthrough first shots more significantly.
This was pretty well established during the trials, and a recent multicenter cohort study reinforced this.
Results: 10,880 (91.9%) UV (Unvaccinated), 825 (7%) PV (Partially Vaccinated), and 129 (1.1%) FV (Fully Vaccinated) were included. Average age was 53.0 +/- 18.2 and 52.8% were female. Accounting for the COVID-19 vaccination population groups in Michigan, the ED (Emergency Department) encounters/hospitalizations rate relevant to COVID-19 infection was 96% lower in FV versus UV

So in this study covering almost 12,000 COVID infections requiring emergency care or hospitalization, only 1.1% were fully vaccinated. The average age of those fully vaccinated was 10 years older than the unvaccinated. But hey, the deadly poison vaccine doesn’t work!
