Due to UK casedemic I thought I'd have dig into most recent numbers from UK Govt "Scariants of Concern" data sheet.
The table for Delta Scariant says data sample is 1st Feb to 21st June, so a month out of date, even though document itself is dated 9th July.
So... vaccine uptake from 50 years to 80+ is between 85% to 95%.
Cases in over 50's?
Total: 12,404
1 Jab 4,651 = 37%
2 Jab 5,234 = 42%
Unvax 1,267 = 10%
Unknown 1,252 = 10%
How can anyone claim the vaccine can stop you catching it ?!?
@YorkshireTea really don't know what to make of these numbers
@YorkshireTea btw email your MP about opposing vaccine passports, got a good response from mine.
@YorkshireTea sorry to spam you like this, what numbers is this guardian article using?!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/11/delta-variant-is-linked-to-90-of-covid-cases-in-uk
"That is backed up by the data. According to the report, since the start of February to 7 June, there were 33,206 Delta cases in England"
Except their own linked source matches your data exactly.
@skells thanks for that link, the data sheet they link to is the one after mine so it will have more recent data to look at. Will have a nosey and see if anything of note has changed. :)
@YorkshireTea weird how it's different data though, don't see where they get there numbers.
guardian can be as bad as any other newspaper but doubt they'd outright fabricate
@skells I think it's due to me only looking at the 50+ cohort. I see no point in the <50 one as it includes too many unvaccinated adults and children where >50 is pretty static now, most who wanted the jab have got so we know the ratio will not change much now.
If you go across all ages you get the bigger numbers, especially if you want to make the unvaccinated look bad.
@YorkshireTea
> I think it's due to me only looking at the 50+ cohort
I don't think so, checked again just now and their numbers are different:
PHE: 123,620 All Delta cases, Feb-Jun
Guardian: 33,206 All Delta cases, Feb-Jun
@skells Guardian be smokin crack lol
