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

[Ms. Toad]

52. So it's OK not to just dump vaccinated granny on an ice flow

because she's old and expendable?

And those vaccinated long-haulers, or children with MIS-C, or others with permanent heart or lung damage don't matter since they aren't dead?

That's the message circulating in the beginning about COVID that is being recycled now to justify ignoring that vaccination really isn't magic armor against COVID. It is a good solid layer of protection, but here are holes we need to fll by other mitgation measures.

Suggesting it is only the old and infirm vaccinated (or only death we should worry about) is pablum to sooth the real and growing concern that the Delta virus poses more threat than expected - the same rationale that was used to lull people into a false sense of security back in March 2020 (it's not going to impact me - only expendable people), to lull people into thnking kids should go back to school without masks, to justfy COVID parties among young adults, etc.
