If the test takes weeks to months how do they know Delta is running rampant as soon as it starts? Does this make sense to you?
Ding Ding Ding!!
EXACTLY!!

It's not a conspiracy, Denmark has a small population so it's easy to sequence a fair percentage of cases with a handful of labs
The US simply does not have the capacity to sequence that many.
Right now half of all sequencing for everything not just covid happens in Europe. Europe is the world leader in sequencing.

Several legal barriers prevented Reider and his doctors — as well as nearly all Americans who have tested positive for the coronavirus — from knowing which variant was to blame.
Validating a test for a single variant could take weeks to months, she added.
The process of validating a next-generation sequencing test is burdensome," Wroblewski said. "It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of data. It takes a lot of resources. And the thing about the variants is that variants of concern and of interest are constantly changing, so you would have to do a whole validation every time you have a variant.
Always remember to READ BETWEEN the lines......
So, you know how the flu shot is only effective for certain strains.
Well Coronavirus is like that too to a degree.
Here they are admitting variants of concern and of interest are constantly changing
Since they aren't testing them, how the heck do you know if by the time you get Vaccine, A, B, C or Delta what you
have isn't already something NEW. We keep hearing Delta, Delta, Delta but how do we know if they aren't testing?!!
So basically they are saying the vaccine is good enough, until it isn't, or something like that...
But don't you worry and just take the jab, and the booster, and another and another..
A more concerning variant could push scientists to disclose information to patients

I must be looking at that chart wrong. To me, it looks like the unvaccinated had a significantly lower death rate than those with 2 shots. It was a small sample size, but still odd numbers, unless I see it wrong.

Without this information for breakthrough cases, the risk of ADE remains a mystery.
Is the vaccine failing with the Wuhan strain or just the Delta or both? UK is reporting a lower breakthrough case rate for Delta, but the fatality rate is alarmingly high.
50+ were the first to get the jabs and would be the first to lose the circulating antibodies. Are their immune systems working properly to make more when they are exposed after that?
ETA: It's as if it's pretty much a virus old people die of for the unvaccinated, but not so much in the vaccinated. I just find this data is so confusing. Why do so many older people get it when they are vaccinated?
Only because they don't test for or count the jabbed unless/until they are in the hospital - and even then many times not...

No you seeing it correctly the death is higher in vaccinated then the unvaccinated. but the infection rate is higher in the unvaccinated then the Vaccinated
