It's useful in tracking a trend of delta covid cases and deaths in the timeframe of the measurement.
It clearly shows vaccinated UK people with delta variant are likely to die 8x over non vaccinated people in the UK with the Delta for this sample.
But I'm not trying to extrapolate it out from that to the general population or to mean anything about the rate if contracting covid overall across all variants (seems like you are though?)
If you want a sort of rate of contraction of covid in UK, you could divide the number of measured cases from here on each variant by the total population, but that's probably pretty flawed.
It clearly shows vaccinated UK people with delta variant are likely to die 8x over non vaccinated people in the UK with the Delta for this sample.
That statement doesn't mean anything without knowing how many people from the vaccinated and unvaccinated populations get Delta in the first place. If you're 8 times more likely to die of Delta when vaccinated but 10x more unvaccinated get Delta, then being vaccinated is still safer than not.
Table 5 and that link outline how many from both groups got Delta, but there are plenty of other sites that spell it out if you don't like that one...You seem super lost in the woods on some non-existant argument.
Good luck
How many from the groups got Delta doesn't tell you anything about risk.
You seem super lost in the woods on some non-existant argument.
It might seem that way if you don't understand statistics.
