Almost 50% of the new covid cases in Israel were from the vaccinated.
I work at a hospital and just talked to a doc from Springfield Cox Hospital - he said most of the people he was admitting were saying ‘but i already had the vaccine’. He made sure he said ‘but that is not scientific, just my experience last night’. So bad in Springfield they were sending a team there. I guess it’s the hot spot of the nation for Delta variant.
I said I had heard the Delta variant was more contagious but less deadly and he said the people he was admitting he felt were MORE sick than what he dealt with this past winter. He also said almost all had other health issues.
Springfield Missouri, he said he had to transfer patients as far away as Carbondale Illinois to get a bed.
Batten down the hatches. It could be worse than last year.
Yeah, with the majority of the population vaccinated it makes sense. More importantly:
"According to the ministry, the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 has dropped by some 30 percent to 64%, given the spread of the Delta variant. The data shows that during May, when the strain was less prevalent, the vaccine was 94.3% effective. The data, however, also shows that the vaccine is still highly effective against preventing serious symptoms and hospitalization. During May, that figure stood at 98.2%, and during June, it was 93%."
