      If most of Delta's advantage was immune evasion, wouldn't we expect faster takeover (as % of total cases) in highly vaccinated areas? Instead, looks like the opposite so far in US (faster takeover in less vaccinated states) suggesting it's just more contagious. Too simplistic?

      No, I think that's exactly right, and the neutralizing Ab data as well as real-world data support it. The anecdotes of breakthrough infections are creating a lot of noise however.

      I'm downgrading my status from Delta Doomscroller. Still confused at the huge increase of cases in UK though. My main frustration was people stating things about vaccines & Delta in an environment where we are explicitly *not* capturing data which could prove those claims.

      Yes but. I’m kinda doing the opposite every time we get data that suggests immune evasion is less of a factor in its spread, since that means higher R. It’s just gonna wash over the unvaccinated before we get a chance to do much about it.

          Yes regardless the degree of immune evasion this new variant has proven to be very bad news for the unvaccinated..
