They found that those infected with the Alpha variant, which drove the province’s third wave in the early spring, or the Beta or Gamma variants were 52 per cent more likely to be hospitalized, 89 per cent more likely to need intensive care and 51 per cent more likely to die of the infection than those who caught the early 2020 version of the virus.
Among Delta cases, they found a 108 per cent increased risk for hospitalization, 235 per cent increased risk for ICU admission and 133 per cent increased risk for death compared to the original virus strain.

I just had what again may be a dumb question but many people have told me that it is not possible for the virus to get more deadly. Virus needs host and doesn't want to kill host, so mutations become less deadly.

cui bono
Who profited from there being so many false negatives?
Who would want all those people spreading the virus because they were told they didn't have it?
Who makes more money the higher the infection rate is?
Can these parties, or those they have access to via financial or nefarious means have any influence what so ever over the mistakes made in these tests?
ETA: Lastly and perhaps most mysteriously... why has my reply been posted as part of the quote...? Who knows?!

I was under the impression that the 3 day thing meant the 3 days directly after receiving the vaccine - injection day being day 1).
That would make sense, since the vaccine itself produces symptoms akin to actual Covid (which a few of us here have experienced).
So if you develop symptoms in that 3 day period it is likely to be vaccine side effects, rather than Covid. So, frankly i'd agree that visiting A&E or a GP in that period is putting unnecessary strain on recourses.
But if symptoms persist after those 3 days, then it may be that you actually have the virus, since the side effects should've waned.
If the advice has changed to: if at any time after vaccination you develop symptoms you should wait 3 days, then that's a little odd to say the least.
Would you say it's the latter rather than the former?
