Vaccinated People Are Dying From Delta Variant, But In Small Nos., Almost All Are Over 50: UK Data

49. You're missing the point about the numbers.

First, 117 deaths is small given the population size of the UK. Yes, it's tragic for those people, but on the whole, it's a very small number. About the same number of people died in that apartment collapse in Florida.

Second, the average age of covid deaths is approx. 80 years old. Given that the UK prioritized vaccinating their most vulnerable population first, it's no wonder that the numbers are about even for the unvaccinated vs. the vaccinated. Why? because the unvaccinated are probably in the younger group and their overall death rate is lower.

Finally, we're never going to have a zero covid world. That's simply not even remotely possible. We'll always have some sort of variant that we have to watch for and monitor. In the meantime, we cannot shutdown the world every time there is a new case.
