Delta variant infected all unvaccinated at superspreader event
The Delta variant infected almost everyone at a 'superspreader' party in Australia — but not the 6 vaccinated people
A birthday party in Australia has been called a "superspreader" event after 24 guests tested positive for the coronavirus.
The highly infectious Delta variant could have infected every guest at the party had there not been six fully vaccinated healthcare workers in attendance, New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard said on Monday.
Hazzard told reporters that all 24 guests who tested positive were unvaccinated, demonstrating "just how important vaccinations are," per the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
He also said an attendee who had received only a single dose of the vaccine did not get infected.

Good new if you are vaccinated. Bad news if you aren't. Drumpf's revenge superspreader rally at Ohio is bad news for the state.
