Just looking at hospital admissions data and deaths, the combination of AZ vaccine and Delta variant is a bit concerning. Even if the vaccinated admissions/death data come from a very small percentage of heavily compromised patients who were vaccinated. In other countries with mRNA vaccines dominant and other Covid variants dominant, you see about 90%/10% ratio unvaccinated/vaccinated in those admitted to hospitals...
