In reply to the discussion: Gamma variant could have 'high attack rate even in fully vaccinated people' - new study (UK: Express [View all]madville
(7,404 posts)12. Link to the study, there's some bits of good news in there
There were no cases severe enough for hospitalization among the entire group, even though many had high risk factors. Good news that it sounds like a relatively mild variant for the vaccinated.
It was the Pfizer vaccine. Israel just released similar numbers about Delta, Pfizer vaccine being about 40% effective at preventing infection.
6 people out of the 44 miners there had prior COVID infections, none obtained the Gamma variant, thats interesting.

You've heard of the Gamma variant for ages, but by its more common name (P.1 aka Brazilian variant)

I have always used the Pango names, not the Greek letters, BUT Delta has changed it for me

Please read my post #27 and others from informed posters on this thread, rather than freak out.
