    COVID vaccines are not perfect. But they are darn good, and keep you alive. Even with delta, alpha, gamma, kappa, lambda, etc. I'm following Malta (90% vaccinated) and the UK. Look how deaths have stayed low. Couple more weeks to be sure. #GetVaccinated pic.twitter.com/xTZQkf8ylh

        We’ve had suggested data on that, suggesting more severity, since May. Maybe. Definitely more transmissible—a lot more. Much much more. Shorter serial interval seems likely as well. That’s bad enough without extra severity. Vaccination is the answer.https://twitter.com/BabsSheKing/status/1420936461973704706 …

        The new info is really confusing because many people seem to take it as all vaccinated are breakthrough cases.

        The delta variant of the coronavirus appears to cause more severe illness than earlier variants and spreads as easily as chickenpox, according to an internal federal health document that argues officials must “acknowledge the war has changed.” https://twitter.com/i/events/1420919098758860800 …

        Confirmed cases are confirmed positivie tested results. Anecdotal evidence that vaccinated people are less likely to test, unless obvious symptoms.

        I'm hopeful, but this one's too early to call for me. Why would vaccinations cause such a massive drop in such a short period? And why did that also happen in the past supposedly pre-vaccines? (Like Malta in March). And deaths have been trailing before too. 😬

        It washed over the unvaccinated. (Which weren’t a big group in either country). Did the same in India—except there, millions died.
