It would be really interesting to know which brand vaccination (both doses) the 12 dead took and and brand vaccination (single dose) the 7 dead took!Coronavirus
Delta variant causes more than 90% of new Covid cases in UK
Dr Jenny Harries, the chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency, urged people eligible for vaccination to come forward to receive the jab.
“With numbers of Delta variant cases on the rise across the country, vaccination is our best defence,” she said, noting two doses providef significantly more protection than a single dose. “However, while vaccination reduces the risk of severe disease, it does not eliminate it,” she added.
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: while 19,573 were in unvaccinated individuals, 1,785 were among fully vaccinated people and 7,559 were among those who had received one jab, with the vaccination status of the remainder unclear.
In total, 383 people in England were admitted to hospital with the Delta variant over that period – 223 of whom tested positive for Covid before turning up at A&E – with 42 having had two doses of the jab, 86 having one dose and 251 unvaccinated.
Of the 42 deaths recorded in England within 28 days of a positive test involving the Delta variant, 23 were in unvaccinated people, with 12 among those who were fully vaccinated and seven among people who had had one dose.

The figures cannot be trusted if they only count those that have been tested max 28 days ago and ignoring anybody who has died 29 or more days of being tested.
This government could not organise a pissup in a brewery.
What they fear most is a new wave with same number pf deaths despite the vaccination so they would have to expalin why vaccination did not help.
