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.

Thank you for this.
