UK: Most of the People Dying from COVID Today are Vaccinated — But Please Continue to Take Your Vaccine

 

The Guardian reported this week that a majority of the recent COVID deaths in the UK had received the COVID vaccination.
That doesn’t sound like much of a vaccine, does it?

But please continue to take your vaccines.

The far left Guardian reported:
A MailOnline headline on 13 June read: “Study shows 29% of the 42 people who have died after catching the new strain had BOTH vaccinations.”In Public Health England’s technical briefing on 25 June, that figure had risen to 43% (50 of 117), with the majority (60%) having received at least one dose.

It could sound worrying that the majority of people dying in England with the now-dominant Delta (B.1.617.2) variant have been vaccinated. Does this mean the vaccines are ineffective? Far from it, it’s what we would expect from an effective but imperfect vaccine, a risk profile that varies hugely by age and the way the vaccines have been rolled out.

Consider the hypothetical world where absolutely everyone had received a less than perfect vaccine. Although the death rate would be low, everyone who died would have been fully vaccinated.
