    In the UK, 90% of everyone over 16 has had at least one dose of a COVID vaccine and they had a Delta wave catching many of the unvaccinated. Trying to squint to understand why “it’s a mystery” for hospitalizations to go down even without huge restrictions.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/sep/24/a-bit-of-a-mistery-why-england-covid-cases-are-going-down-despite-ease-of-restrictions …

        Of course. I mean, how can it not? (Obviously much better to gain immunity without risking major illness, hence the vaccination).https://twitter.com/realLainey/status/1442359586086965250 …

        Just to be clear, you're saying the Delta cases added more (natural) immunity, right?

        Well, yea. Not the ideal way to go ahead and nab some immunity, though.

        "How increasing immunity from infection and vaccination, and the amount of contact, exactly balance to keep R roughly at 1 is a bit of a mystery.”

        All these rollercoaster changes wont stop, no matter of the vaccination level for SARSCoV2. The virus will continue to infect (un)vaccinated because we don’t have a sterilizing vaccine. Same time the current vaccines are not 100% efficient to stop transmission. #1

        "By letting it spread among vaccinated people, we are applying evolutionary pressures on the virus to learn to evade immunity established by vaccination. And as it becomes better at evading immunity, the vaccines that we are currently using will become inefficient" #2

        Many on the UK left (quite why is a fascinating question) have been totally gripped from the beginning with the idea that social restrictions are needed to suppress infection, whatever the other facts.

        Natural immunity? At least that explains in part the falling deaths and hospitalizations in Latin America

        South America is currently the most vaccinated continent. They probably also have the highest levels of natural immunity.
