"Cases of the virus are surging in the U.K., driven by the highly infectious delta variant, despite a high level of vaccination"
Did these twat reporters over at CNBC ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, it is precisely this high level of vaccination that is causing vaccinated people's bodies to spread the virus at a faster rate, which would explain this recent surge?
Apparently not. Clueless twats.
You should pass on your knowledge to epidemiologists!
Conversely the unvaccinated in developed and especially in underdeveloped countries should be safer against CV19 and delta variants.
I gather don't get vaccinated and we will stop the spread of covid, brilliant!
Javid said in a video message that he has had both shots of a vaccine and “so far my symptoms are very mild.”
Britain currently has higher rates of Covid-19 than France, with more than 51,000 new infections confirmed on Friday, the biggest number for six months. Hospitalizations and deaths are also rising, but remain far lower than at previous infection peaks.
Despite the soaring cases, remaining restrictions are set to be lifted in England on Monday, though the government is advising people to remain cautious and continue social distancing. Face masks will still be required on London’s buses and subways and some other transit networks.
Epidemiologist John Edmunds, a member of the U.K. government’s scientific advisory group, said there is good evidence that beta “can evade the immune response generated by the AstraZeneca vaccine more efficiently.”
The AstraZeneca shot has been used for a majority of British vaccinations.

Canadian study finds mRNA vaccines produce more COVID-19 antibodies than AstraZeneca
Initial results from a new Canadian study are reinforcing the importance of getting that second
COVID-19 vaccine shot — particularly if the first dose was AstraZeneca.
The study, which was supported by the federal government, found a single dose of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine produced short-term antibody levels more than one-and-a-half times greater than those produced by one dose of AstraZeneca.
