According to official NHS data, fully vaccinated people are 5.1 times more likely to die than the unvaccinated if they catch the delta variant.
Between Feb 1 and Aug 2, the UK deaths from the delta variant were as follows:
Fully vaccinated = 402 deaths from 47,008 cases. (0.855% death rate)
Unvaccinated = 253 deaths from 151,054 cases. (0.167% death rate)
0.855 / 0.167 = 5.1 times higher death rate
Adjusting for age would be interesting. My guess is that older, more susceptible people are fully vaxxed and hence would have a higher likelihood of being hospitalized or dying.
Good point.
I would, given the fact that many of these people already suffer from co-morbidities, that the amazing change is seen in the age brackets below. Especially people who have naturally obtained immunity.
0 - 65 age bracket.
