The problem with the CDC is that they are not tracking nor do they appear to believe that natural immunity exists. Read any of the links about herd immunity and you'll only find that we need 75-85% of people being vaccinated, including children. Calculations of natural immunity are largely non-existent and the CDC recommends that those with natural immunity also get vaccinated. The recommendation is not science, it's just 'best practice' because they don't know.
As to the Delta variant, the current thought is that it's more contagious, but less deadly. Perhaps vaccination rates for those over 65 is skewing that data. No one really knows.
The CDC doesn't know. In the UK, cases are suddenly dropping. No one knows why. I'm not predicting one thing or another because no one really knows. I just choose to be optimistic rather than pessimistic.
