I found the audio confusing, so I listened to it multiple times and transcribed it:
More than half the people to die with the delta variant have not been vaccinated at all, nearly 2/3rds of those infected with it have not been vaccinated.
Hang on, that makes no sense. Let me just bring you up to date with the figures.
Uh - 2/3 were unvaccinated, 23% actually in terms of the statistics. There have been 42 deaths in England, people confirmed with the delta variant who died within 28 days of a positive test. of those, 23 were unvaccinated, 7 had had the first dose more than 21 days before, 12 had had their second dose more than 14 days before.
So it's a small number of deaths, but of those ah.. a large proportion had - as we're saying had been double-vaccinated - half of them.
So let's talk more about the statistics. I spoke to our head of statistics...
My numeric summary of her final statements follows:
23 unvaccinated deaths (~55%)
7 1st dose vaccinated more than 21 days before (~17%)
12 2 doses vaccinated more than 14 days before (~28 %)
Total deaths with full or partial vaccination: ~45%
Looking closely at the wording - people who had been vaccinated but not 21 or 14 days before and had died might be included in that 55% as well.
In short - it's possible that the total figure of all people who had had the delta variant AND were vaccinated might be even higher - assuming that the announcer's statistics were correct in the first place.
I saw a table earlier today showing deaths. There were 0 deaths in the "less than 14 days after vaccination" subset.
Interestingly the table showed the ratio of cases to deaths was much better in the unvaxxed group than the vaxxed group. ie the virus is hitting the vaxxed much harder.

Thank you for this.
