Majority of UK covid hospitalizations are fully vaxxed

  2. "But the rates should be lower than they have been previously because of the protective effects of vaccination."

    It’s all about age, if you read through the article. It is time to consider a three dose regimen for people over 80, IMO.

    What I will say is an 80 year old with two dose vaccine has the same likelihood of hospitalization as a 50 year old unvaccinated person. If was 50 and unvaccinated I would be a little worried about Delta considering what we are seeing in the UK.

    LOL. Why not 20 doses? Really get that immune escape going.
    Age is important but comorbs are what’s really key. Old and sick people can consider vaxxing to the max because they are dead people walking anyway.
    Delta isn’t dangerous. IFR is extremely low.

    Claim: The delta variant of the coronavirus “is approximately 19 times less deadly.”
    Data showing lower death rate for coronavirus delta variant doesn’t mean it’s less dangerous

    • Experts say it’s too soon to know how dangerous delta is compared with other variants.
    • Vaccination rates are much higher since the early coronavirus variants emerged.
    • Vaccination is shown to reduce the severity of COVID-19 in those who are infected, so it’s expected that the relatively new delta variant would show a lower case fatality rate.

    Looks like he reversed his claim

    40% is still high and has my interest.
     
  8. Fauci will change his mind on boosters eventually, you heard it here first.

    Why not offer boosters, at the very least, to older people who are at a higher risk?

    Make the boosters available for those who want them.

    The UK is approaching something like 80% vaccination for adults, it only makes sense that the number of new cases would be on that population:

    Double vaxxed is no higher than 65%
    The numbers still don’t add up.
    Some are crediting the vax for low death rates but we know that delta is more infectious and much less deadly.
