Attached is older data from the UK on the different variants going back to the end of June. Summarizing the Delta variant data: 117 total people died in the UK from Delta variant as of this point in time 8 people under the age of people died (2 were partially vaccinated) 0 fully vaccinated people under the age of 50 died 109 total over age 50 died 50 fully vaccinated people over the age 50 died (IE almost half) Which too me says, that there is a certain group of high risk people with complications and/or near their "natural" end of life, where the vaccine is ineffective (and possibly even counter productive). Which makes sense...vaccines work by activating/priming your immune system and so it goes to follow, if your immune system is not working well, the vaccine may not work well. Also I should note that the overall data is extremely positive for pro vaccine side...at least in regards to preventing death by covid. Of course, that says nothing about the impact of the vaccine versus the impact of catching and building resistance naturally. The debate over that will likely going on for decades with no clear winner ever emerging... assets.publishing.service.gov.uk

Here's a good read on everything Covid caucus99percent.com The Weekly Watch Submitted by Lookout on Sun, 08/22/2021 - 7:04am Continuing COVID Confusion brought to you by the Delta variant Just get vaccinated...that's been the message for months. But now the vaccinated are getting COVID thanks to the Delta variant. So are preventative measures encouraged? Hell no, there's no profit in them...TPTB want us to get another ($30) jab. (And notice the $3 non profit Oxford AZ jab still hasn't been approved?) It is another ride on the misinformation merry-go-round, and more people will die and suffer long term effects. We are expendable.

Whatever the truth of the real impact of the virus in terms of health... it is clearly having impacts in slowing the economy... Oil demand is down... production up a bit... has the price down from over $70 now at $63... And many ugly charts being painted now by the renewed virus driven slow down in the economy... Energy one of those... which will throttle back inflation perceptions a little bit... while doing nothing to actually reduce the inflationary impacts of the policies that now dominate... which have in fact become far more inflationary, recently... while the market sleeps walks past and ignores MAJOR issues... as real money printing (not fake money printing as QE) begins.... and not only accelerates but dramatically alters the focus of monetary policy and ensures it escapes containment... No one seems to have noticed, yet ? If you missed the bottom of the gold market in April-May... you're getting a second chance to buy some of the best (IMO) of the gold shares near their lows... The events of the last few months have proven very useful in "testing" the miners... to expose risks and weaknesses... both in the shares as well as in the markets approach to addressing resource shortages that exist already... and ensure "can't get there from here" is the reality that obstructs the optimistic scenario for global economic recovery WHEN the virus quits throttling the economy... or WHEN they quit doing so in the name of the virus...
