The vaccines are almost as effective against the Delta variant.
Among the vaccinated:
"Conclusions
Only modest differences in vaccine effectiveness were noted with the delta variant as compared with the alpha variant after the receipt of two vaccine doses. Absolute differences in vaccine effectiveness were more marked after the receipt of the first dose. This finding would support efforts to maximize vaccine uptake with two doses among vulnerable populations."
A pre-print (no peer review) journal article which he uses to support his argument that the term 'vaccinated' should be used to include people who are not fully vaccinated, contrary to the definition agreed upon by the medical community. The journal article says nothing about that point, and it's worth noting that it concludes that the vaccine was effective "The results were promising regarding the VE [vaccine effectiveness] both within and beyond seven days of second vaccination with the BNT162b2 mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine currently used in many countries to help mitigate the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic."

A newspaper article about vaccinated people getting the virus. The whole point, of course, is that vaccination will reduce your chances of getting seriously ill when you get the virus. No one - I hope - expects that getting the vaccination will prevent you from picking up the virus. Anyway, the article states "the vaccine nevertheless remains the best possible protection against the disease." (https://tinyurl.com/25skj7u9)
Berenson is a successful journalist and author. He is good with words but he is expressing his opinions on a topic that is not his area of expertise.

Among the unvaccinated:
"A new, more transmissible form of SARS-CoV-2 is rapidly spreading in the country and poses a threat to unvaccinated and partially vaccinated people"

I express reservations about Alex Berenson's opinions
You ask for me to provide some science to support my reservations
I give you two science journal articles.
You give me about 2,000 words of Alex Berenson's opinions.
Seems we're back where we started. This might be a short conversation. I already know you like his opinions.
Concerning the article you linked to, besides his opinions it contains links to:
A pamphlet of his own opinions (https://tinyurl.com/pkzrx76n)
