But fortunately the outbreak seems to be among the unvaccinated
According to @Noahpinion, 37% of infected people had both doses of China's Sinopharm vaccine. Might still be protecting them from hospitalization and death, but looks like it's much less effective against the new variants.

ah yeah you are right, i was thinking of hospitalization, seems like its hard to draw too many conclusions from a small islandhttps://twitter.com/zeynep/status/1394469107911860224?s=20 …
Sheel Mohnot added,
It is not having the world’s worst outbreak by any sensible measure. I have not seen any sequencing data from Seychelles so I don’t see where the variant discussions coming in either.
Based on daily covid-19 cases per million people, Maldives and Seychelles are the highest in the world right nowpic.twitter.com/z3HWArN71v
That’s why I said sensible measure. They don’t report a single severe case among the vaccinated, let alone a death. If that’s a concern to you, I leave you to it, I guess.
With that sharp a rise in cases, hospitalization and deaths will take a few weeks to catch up. I hope you are right though, and they don't end up in an India-like situation.
