you are so full of shite. There was a Dr. on one of the news channels the other day who has been fully vaccinated and got the new strain. The first one missed him. Please stop talking about things you know very little about.

Statistical analysis and study > human interest stories of one person

Less than 5% of hospitalizations last 2 months have been among the vaccinated. Less than 1% of deaths in the last 2 months have been vaccinated. The only group of vaccinated people from the studies in Israel that had any semi-serious rate of infection with those who encountered HEAVY LOADS of virus - mainly health care workers.

If you are vaccinated your risk of getting a serious case of COVID-19 is almost statistically 0%. It's less than about 150 other things that could create a life threating or even non-life threatening but uncomfortable health situation.

What does the Delta variant mean for the vaccinated?

Scientists are looking at how the Delta variant can cause breakthrough cases, or infections among people who are fully vaccinated. So far, they seem to be rare.

In a preliminary analysis, two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine appeared to be about 88% effective against disease and 96% effective against hospitalization with the Delta variant, according to Public Health England.

The bottom line is get vaccinated, because none of those risk deflaters above apply to you if you aren't vaccinated.
