This isn't saying let's throw the elderly under the bus—the unvaccinated mortality was horrific and unacceptable. But a small amount of vaccine failure, mostly among the elderly, isn't COVID-specific. That's just age. All nursing home staff must be vaccinated against flu & COVID.

Delta is continuing to take a terrible toll, around the world, on the unvaccinated—and billions still do not have access to any vaccine! Of course it would be better if it didn't cause breakthroughs either, but the way forward is clear and unchanged. Vaccinate before infection.

Me neither! Nobody wants to get sick, even if vaccinated. The point is vaccinating as many as possible, as fast as possible, is the clear way forward. Delta waves (around the world) are fast—on the way up and down—and do great damage to the unvaccinated.https://twitter.com/Fdr1942/status/1421856822575566851 …

Fair part: Delta will continue to burn through the US (maybe about another month or two, judging from other countries?) and there will be more breakthroughs & some hospitalizations among the vaccinated. Same point though: massive risk to the unvaccinated.https://twitter.com/smartrestartaps/status/1421861330689089546 …

Not doing a vaccine efficacy calculation here. But there were more hospitalizations in *one* week (ending on January 09, 2021: 6679) in the US than *all* vaccine breakthrough hospitalizations combined since May. Deaths among hospitalized is lower, too.https://twitter.com/balajiworld/status/1421864632256372739 …

shouldn't we compare the 6,587 to the number of vaccinated people tested during that same time? I mean, we are not testing all 163M....

The data she presented here is hospitalizations not cases. Per the article you linked, hospitalizations were not tracked any differently

Not being hospitalized certainly is paramount but one can still be without a sense of smell and w fever for days and long COVID is still uncharted territory. So I don't want to get COVID even if the symptoms fall short of hospitalization

good news: the vaccine reduces the risk of that too
