What do you think the hospitalization/death rate would have looked like with Delta in 2021 without the vaccine?
We were told over 90% of hospitalizations were unvaccinated. We know about 50% of the population was vaccinated. We can't know what would have happened but if there had been twice as many unvaccinated then it would not be unreasonable to assume there could have been twice as many hospitalized.

The ratio of deaths per reported infections was about 1.5% in January. In September the ratio was about 1.2%. There were several things that could have reduced the death rate including more effective treatments.
