All the data points to the vaccines as being effective against the Delta variant. At least that's what the article claims. My question is what are the demographics and other possible underlying health issues for those 79 that died after vaccination. My guess is that they're elderly with significant health problems.
Seventy-nine vaccinated residents in Massachusetts died from COVID-19, either without being hospitalized or following a hospital stay, DPH said. That death toll reflects 1.78% of the 4,450 confirmed breakthrough cases and 0.0019% of the 4,195,844 people fully vaccinated as of July 10.
"All available data continue to support that all 3 vaccines used in the US are highly protective against severe disease and death from all known variants of COVID-19. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones is to get vaccinated," the DPH said in a statement to The Boston Globe.
