You deliberately omitted Israel and Iceland.

Are they 99% Delta? My comment was about Delta-infected countries like UK.

Israel says Pfizer Covid vaccine is just 39% effective as delta spreads, but still prevents severe illness

That was from a month ago. CNBC which is like, totally a rabid "anti-vaxxer" kook site that says the jabs will turn you into a monkey like Peter Hotez accused.

And you said in Post 49 this thread

" I should have been more exact in my phrasing. Vaccination does not make the virus more dangerous to the unvaccinated."

Which is ambiguous: do you mean "danger of BECOMING infected" or "danger of bad outcomes ONCE infected"?

Because current data from Iceland is showing delta increasing infection rates among the non-jabbed. Delta COVID Surge in Iceland Is Very Bad News for the U.S.

Yahoo! New / Daily Beast, today, again, a site liberal trolls like you worship.

Money quote:

Once COVID vaccines hit the market early this year, Iceland quickly secured enough doses for almost everyone. And people dutifully lined up to get their shots. Today, the country has administered 477,000 doses and 275,000 people have gotten at least one jab—77 percent of the total population. Add in people with natural immunity from past infection, and it’s likely that more than 80 percent of Iceland has some level of protection.

The 20 percent of Icelanders who didn’t get vaccinated or haven’t already had COVID are the ones now catching Delta, with the exception of a few breakthrough cases of vaccinated people. (Children under 16, who aren’t yet eligible for vaccination, make up most of the unvaccinated group.) A couple thousand people have tested positive in recent weeks, a spike in cases far exceeding the worst weekly case-rates from 2020.

But hospitalizations have not surged to the same degree as cases in this latest Icelandic surge. That’s because older Icelanders, as a group, are highly vaccinated. Younger people, who as a group are less vaccinated, are the ones getting infected now. They have a better chance of weathering COVID without serious symptoms. And the antibodies and T-cells their immune systems are producing could represent the last—or close to last—brick in Iceland’s wall of immunity.

NOTE ALSO -- that article admits that

the young can weather COVID without serious symptoms -- removing the very excuse for universal jabs

their natural immunity can complete herd immunity -- putting the final nail in the coffin behind the mad rush to jab everyone.

Lying troll.
