Delta variant among the vaccinated

@george-k said in Delta variant among the vaccinated:

time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) cycle threshold (Ct) values in specimens from 127 vaccinated persons with breakthrough cases were similar to those from 84 persons who were unvaccinated, not fully vaccinated, or whose vaccination status was unknown (median = 22.77 and 21.54, respectively).

Now how do those numbers compare to unvaccinated with Delta?

Ok so of the sample size, 1.5% were hospitalized and 0.0% die.

That's still about 1 in 75 people. Good about the deaths, though.

I was recently told about an exceptional (high viral load) case with CT=16. When I asked what was normal he said “more like 21”. Granted that was informally off the top of his head.

”There’s a rush to get shots that correlates with delta’s rise and hospitalizations,” …

There are signs of people previously hesitant about getting vaccinated changing their minds as they see more people getting infected and even hospitalized due to the Delta variant.

We were going to be returning to the office in a month. Delta oughta be good for keeping us home for at least the rest of 2021.

I remember laughing at the conspiracy theorists who doubted the scientific authorities at that time. Lol what a bunch of maroons. Sociopaths with no empathy, too. Dumb, low empathy, ugly people - if there's one thing COVID has taught us, it's that they doubt science. Must be genetic.

Why can't they all just die already and leave us good people alone?

Where's my fainting couch?

FOLLOW THE SCIENCE!!!!

Misinformation, you should know better @George-K

He said that based on the evidence and trials at that point, all 3 had been effective in that regard.

Which was true.

I'm constantly amazed that this is what we keep hearing.

You would think that a guy like Fauci would be smart enough to understand the science will, indeed, change.

To make pronouncements like that strikes me as being a little bit reckless.

[Jolly]

It's political.

One doesn't dwell in the depths of The Swamp for as long as Fauci has, without acquiring a maximum amount of slime. He quit being a doctor a long time ago.

Time for him to retire.

If Fauci says it, cnn will make it true

He is well connected

If everyone took the vaccine we would be in a very different place.

But words and superstitions and tribalism are more important than facts and even the most obvious statement in the world will be ripped to shreds.

More important to be whatever than accurate.

When Fauci is a more important target than Covid something is really really wrong with the water.

Oklahoma is running out of desperately needed pediatric hospital beds throughout the state amid rising COVID-19 cases, a surge in a separate serious respiratory illness and nursing shortages.

Some children have been sent out of state to other hospitals because of a lack of beds in Oklahoma.

Now the kids are hit hard. Yeah, the vaccines have not been approved for kids younger than 12,. That’s why it’s even more important for the grownups to get vaccinated to protect the kids they into contact with.

[Jolly]

How much difference does it make, when it's been shown that many of the carriers are vaccinated?

True! Which person doesn't believe this?

Really? Which obvious statement was ripped to shreds?

Delighted to hear I am wrong! I would say an unvaccinated person who is trashing Fauci and pumping ivermectin would fit that criteria.
