Don’t let the fearmongers win. New public England study of delta variant shows 44 deaths out of 53,822 (.08%) in unvaccinated group. Hmmm. //

The United States, per John Hopkins, has had 33,600,000 cases of COVID diagnosed and 604,000 deaths. That’s a case to fatality ratio of 1.8%. Compare that with the 0.8% case to death rate observed for the Delta variant in the new study out of England, and it is quite clear that it is not, in fact, a deadlier variant of the virus. Further, we know that current vaccines protect against the Delta variant when it comes to serious illness and death.
