PhineasC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 32 minutes ago, kdxken said: How so? A study published June 14 in the journal The Lancet examined the impact of the delta variant in Scotland, where it had become the dominant strain. The researchers found that the risk of hospitalization from COVID-19 was roughly doubled for patients infected with delta, compared with people infected with the alpha variant. Deaths.

Overall CFR after Delta was 0.186%. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1005517/Technical_Briefing_19.pdf See page 14. Deaths from Delta under age 50 were 0.02% of total cases. I thought it broke out by unvaccinated but I guess it doesn't. It was 45 deaths though, so basically noise. Unvaccinated people did not die in large numbers from Delta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Delta was basically a bad flu among the unvaccinated in the UK, but hey, be scared if you want to be. The media sure wants you to be. I'm sure Fauci and company will find a way to drum up thousands of deaths from this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I have a legitimate question. Why do the vaccinated care so much about the unvaccinated? Especially when the large majority of studies show it’s the vaccinated that are spreading it since they think they’re invincible? Why do they care so much what other people do or don’t do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The vaccinated are dealing with a lot of conflicting narratives right now. They are simultaneously being told they are the key to ending COVID and also part of the reason it is still enduring. Their vaccines are both still 98% effective and already failing due to variants (meaning they need boosters). It's been a rough two weeks for this gang.
