⚠️90-96% of all #COVID19 in 🇬🇧 caused by #DeltaVariant.🧵

📍32% of all Delta cases visiting the hospital emergency room are at least 1 dose vaccinated

📍33% who are then hospitalized vaccinated

📍45% of all deaths got at least 1 shot—➡️ 29% got 2 shots.
theguardian.com/world/2021/jun… Image
2) Similar #DeltaVariant worries from a Canadian hospital— ➡️Outbreak even w/ 2 dose of mRNA vaccines—16 patients & 6 healthcare staff #DeltaVariant positive. 6/16 patients & 5/6 HCWs had received 2 doses of #COVID19 vaccine; 7 patients & 1 HCW had 1 dose cbc.ca/amp/1.6063802
3) this is why @WHO_Europe chief is now sounding the alarm on #DeltaVariant.
4) The #DeltaVariant is truly a scourge. We saw what it did to India 🇮🇳, and now we are seeing another wave in 🇬🇧 and hospitalizations increasing there, and #DeltaVariant rising in the US 🇺🇸 as well…. See thread 🧵 video explainers: ⬇️
5) We need to 2 dose vaccinate for sure. I am the biggest proponent of vaccinations. But we need to be sober about the #DeltaVariant and its evasive properties.
6) My message is to definitely vaccinate, but we need to move fast and stay VIGILANT about #COVID19. It’s not over.
7) In addition to vaccine lower efficacy, especially 1 dose, there is also concerns about reinfection potential of #DeltaVariant #B16172 relative to the older (disappearing) #AlphaVariant #B117.
8) “Dr Jenny Harries, the chief executive of the UK Health Security Agency, urged people eligible for vaccination to come forward to receive the jab.
“vaccination is our best defence,” she said, noting two doses provided significantly more protection than a single dose….
9) “However, while vaccination reduces the risk of severe disease, it does not eliminate it,” she added.

Dr Fauci warned the same. 1 dose protection too low.
10) good time to remind folks that #DeltaVariant is surging fast across many parts of the US. See thread 🧵
11) Today is a damn good day for the CDC to upgrade #DeltaVariant to VARIANT OF CONCERN status… https://t.co/A7gzchqbaB
12) JUST IN— because of the startling #DeltaVariant data (above), Uk 🇬🇧 has now officially delayed reopening fully for another 4 weeks!

Yet US CDC still not declaring #B16172 a variant of concern yet, despite UK and WHO upgrading the warning status.

washingtonpost.com/world/2021/06/…
14) surging hospitalizations in the UK despite higher vaccinations than even Us shows the #DeltaVariant is truly worrisome. The data on hospitalizations don’t lie.
15) here we go… Lancet paper on #DeltaVariant and vaccines— much much lower efficacy with 1 dose. We cannot rely on one dose strategy at all.
16) going forward, we should now mainly report the 2 dose fully vaccinated population % in the new #DeltaVariant era we are entering.
17) latest data from Public Health England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 (their CDC)… hospitalization is not 0% when it comes to #DeltaVariant even if vaccinated

⚠️PFAS IS BACK—recall the EPA plan to ban dangerous forever chemicals from drinking water ➡️Well, Trump WH just cancelled it… once again allowing big corporations to discharge PFAS into rivers. PFAS cause cancers & many diseases. Does this make American healthy again? Image
2) “There really isn’t a system within the human body that isn’t affected by PFAS. They are toxic in many ways, but they’re also very long-lived. They’re designed not to break down in the environment or not to break down to heat and chemical stress.”
michiganpublic.org/politics-gover…
3) CDC also just got banned from seeking any advice or input from the WHO — CDC can’t communicate or even enter any WHO building anymore. Perfect way to politically isolate CDC from outside science.

NEW—CDC officially ordered by Trump WH to cease working with the @WHO, effective immediately. This is the first time in almost 77 years since WHO’s founding after World War 2. This is a dark day. Image
2) the memo said the stop-work policy applied to “all CDC staff engaging with WHO through technical working groups, coordinating centers, advisory boards, cooperative agreements or other means — in person or virtual.”
3) It also says @CDCgov staff are not allowed to visit @WHO offices.

CDC ordered to stop working with WHO immediately, upending expectations of an extended withdrawal

2) Trump WH is literally blocking all of this… including all CDC science reports and all FDA public alerts!
