Ilargi, have you had a look at the numbers in https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1001358/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_18.pdf It’s regularly updated, and Table 5 has a breakdown of cases by vaccination status, age > or < 50 years, cases, A&E visits, hospitalisation, deaths. My reading of those is there is some vaccination protection as cases are 7:1 unvaccinated:double jabbed 21 days. Hospitalisation is 5% vs 3% in unvaccinated : double jabbed. Deaths 92 unvaccinated: 118 in doubled jabbed, I read this as probably those who get it despite being double jabbed are likely to be much iller and less able to respond to treatment when they do get very sick. Also the age breakdown is such that those dying unvacinated, CFR approx 0.1% include some under 50, so I would think about this as the sickest person amongst 1000 dying, vs 118/10834 >> CFR 1% in double jabbed, the sickest person in 100. It is a set of numbers to look at what’s been happening over the last six months in the UK and do some thinking with.
