So far there have been just 42 deaths from the delta variant, and only 12 in fully vaccinated people.
NHS leaders have previously said those dying after being fully vaccinated are also suffering from "profound co-morbidities".

By the numbers, people >= 14 days post second dose make up: (all numbers from 1st Feb to 14th June)
6.7% of all delta cases
8.0% of all delta cases with an A&E visit
8.2% of all delta cases where an A&E visit resulted in hospitalisation
35.6% of all delta deaths (26 of 73)

Incidentally, the variant naming is up to Lambda now. (Not all categorised as variant of concern.)
