Right? I wonder what the endpoint is for these people if it isn’t effective vaccination that prevents serious illness and hospitalization. You’re really going to hide forever from a cold?[/quote]

Before you start mocking people maybe look at the new data. For the other variants yes -- it prevented serious illness and hospitalization. For Delta it's different. If it doesn't break thru the vax you're fine. If it breaks thru you are at just as much risk for serious illness/hospital as if you weren't vaccinated. Look at the latest UK data.

So yeah you should want to NOT be exposed to this one.[/quote]

Source?[/quote]

Look it up - I'm not your junior associate. Hint - do searches for UK hospitalizations and see what comes up from the last few days.[/quote]

Right. Why should anyone believe you if you aren’t going to link your sources?[/quote]
Because she's lying.

How am I lying - YOUR article is the one that says that hospitalizations in the UK have doubled in the last week and 10% of the hospitalized are fully vaccinated with 2 shots? But NBD huh??

My article is in FT: https://www.ft.com/content/d4abbe5e-8650-4a76-9fea-2d3efa2ed52b?sharetype=blocked

NP  Key sentences from FT story, which is mostly about the delta variant in Europe and was posted 21 hours ago:

"Scientists across the continent are now looking to the UK — where Covid-19 cases have tripled in the past month and the Delta variant accounts for about 98 per cent of all new infections — for clues about what may happen next and which measures may need to be taken."

"After official data showed the Delta variant appeared to increase the risk of hospitalisation by 2.2 times compared with the Alpha variant, the UK government this week imposed a one month delay to the removal of its remaining coronavirus restrictions."

"According to data gathered by Public Health England, the first dose of a Covid-19 vaccine is generally less effective against the Delta variant than with the previous strains. Two doses increases protection against symptomatic infection with Delta from 33 per cent to 81 per cent."
