You read the same alarming headlines every few months, now with Greek letters. As the virus that causes Covid-19 evolves and mutates, the same concerns pop up about whether the variant evades vaccines, makes people sicker than the old versions, and increases transmissibility. What we know about the Delta variant is reassuring.
One of the most important questions is whether vaccines are still working well. The best way to answer that is to look at the number of vaccinated people getting serious Covid-19 symptoms or being hospitalized. A new study from the U.K. found that vaccines are still incredibly effective at preventing serious illness with the Delta variant circulating. The Pfizer vaccine was 96% effective after two doses at preventing hospitalization, meaning the average unvaccinated person in the study was more than 25 times as likely to be hospitalized with Covid as the average vaccinated one. (This almost certainly understates the protectiveness of the vaccine, as the vaccinated cohort was older and had a higher incidence of pre-existing conditions than the unvaccinated one.)
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine produces strong neutralizing antibodies and cellular responses against the Delta variant, still present eight months after administration.
Studies from Canada and the U.K. show 79% to 87% effectiveness against symptomatic infection with the Delta variant. On July 8 the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration asserted their confidence in the vaccines. They jointly announced that no boosters are necessary at this time.
This is all excellent news, as is the finding that 99% of hospitalizations for Covid-19 are among unvaccinated people. The vaccines are as good as first heralded, even against new variants. That unvaccinated people are still being hospitalized underscores the continuing need to get as many people vaccinated as possible.

Let’s just wait and see, the UK and Israel have been ahead of us by a few weeks since the scam started and the Majority of thier “Delta” patients hospitalized are FULLY VACCINATED with the DNA Altering fake vaccine.
If the vaccines are so effective at preventing hospitalizations, why are the Japanese threatening to cancel Olympics at the last minute?
Delta Variant. Paving the way for the epsilon variant. Ad nauseum.
“That unvaccinated people are still being hospitalized underscores the continuing need to get as many people vaccinated as possible.”
It doesn’t at all do that, on its own. What’s the ratio of Covid-caused hospitalizations, vaccinated to unvaccinated? How does that compare to the ratio of total vaccinated to total unvaccinated? And please show the pedigree of the data.
I will refer to it as the Arizona Audit Variant going forward. Maligning the Greek alphabet with this crap is not appropriate.
The UK just said 3 days ago that 60% of covid hospitalizations are vaccinated. Huh?
"There’s no sign of a surge in hospitalization or severe illness, and the vaccines remain extremely effective." OK... there's no surge, so how do they know it's not simply because the SAvarient isn't as "deadly" as chinfluV1.0?
i thought parasites devolved so as not to kill their hosts but to keep spreading...
RE: The UK just said 3 days ago that 60% of covid hospitalizations are vaccinated. Huh?
That was a misunderstanding.
SEE HERE:
UK science chief corrects delta variant hospitalization stat that’s been widely cited – twitchy.com
The Tweet from Sir Patrick Vallance, UK Science Chief yesterday says:
“Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference today, 19 July. About 60% of hospitalisations from covid are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from covid are currently from unvaccinated people.”
Well, that’s re-assuring. That means 40% of those hospitalized ARE vaccinated people....
Study shows 29% of the 42 people who have died after catching the new strain had BOTH vaccinations.” In Public Health England’s technical briefing on 25 June, that figure had risen to 43% (50 of 117), with the majority (60%) having received at least one dose.”
Shoot I was watching You Tube last night and there are already videos up of people talking about the “Lambda” variant.
I kid you not.
Not a vaccine.
Its an injection!
40% vaccinated in the UK and only 1% here? Somebody be lying.
Delta is SO June 2021.
The pros are worried about the Lambda variant.
How’s this...
CoupFlu Part Deux.
That seems to contradict the claim that "vaccines remain extremely effective."
I bet they are effective for their intended purpose.

Re: 60%
The Health Minister said he was misunderstood.
Percentage of vaccinated in UK hospitals corrected to 40%.
One of the bigger lies in the jab snake oil business is that misnamed “vaccine”.
From Freeper eyeamok: “the UK and Israel have been ahead of us by a few weeks since the scam started and the Majority of thier “Delta” patients hospitalized are FULLY VACCINATED”
From the article: “99% of hospitalizations for Covid-19 are among unvaccinated people.”
