Even 39 percent is useful. (But indeed in many ways not enough). With additional utility from reducing more servere cases.

The data I've seen seems to suggest the delta variant is the best at spreading but the beta variant is best at "getting past" the vaccines.

And assuming that's accurate presumably its the lowest of any of the vaccines against any of the variants.

Some more data here - blogs.sciencemag.org

I saw one study described on TV this morning where the efficacy of one of the vaccines went down to 39% against the delta variant.
Sounds interesting......want to share the source????
