LONDON, England, June 18, 2021 (LifeSiteNews<\/a>) \u2013 The death rate\u00a0from the Delta COVID variant is six times higher among those who were fully vaccinated for two weeks or longer than among those who never received a shot, according to data published by Public Health England on Friday.<\/p>\n

Twenty-six people died among 4,087 who were fully vaccinated 14 days or more before testing positive for the Delta COVID variant. This equates to a death rate of 0.00636 percent, which is 6.6 times higher than the rate of 0.000957 deaths \u2013 or 34 deaths among 35,521 positive Delta cases among the unvaccinated, according to data published in a June 18 report titled\u00a0\u201cSARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England, Technical briefing 16.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Both death rates among the unvaccinated and vaccinated are exceedingly low (less than one percent of all positive tests) for a variant that Public Health England describes as the \u201cdominant variant\u201d in the UK, comprising \u201c91 percent of sequenced cases.\u201d<\/p>\n

A\u00a0risk assessment<\/a>\u00a0of the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus published Friday describes it as being more readily spread between people, but it is also described as a variant with \u201clow infection severity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mainstream media have latched onto the possibility that the Delta variant is producing higher hospitalization rates in parts of\u00a0Scotland<\/a> and England than the \u201cfirst wave\u201d of the Alpha variant, but according to the UK public health report, these data are based on \u201cearly evidence\u201d and \u201climited understanding of the clinical course of the disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since hospitalizations are of concern, fully vaccinated people are being hospitalized in the UK at a higher rate than unvaccinated people. According to most recent technical briefing report, public health data show that 2.0 percent of vaccinated individuals (84 of 4,087) who tested positive for the Delta variant were admitted to hospital (including those tested upon entering the hospital for any other reason) compared with 1.48 percent of unvaccinated individuals (527 of 35,521).<\/p>\n

The current data is in keeping with\u00a0data published last week<\/a>\u00a0by England\u2019s public health agency\u00a0that also showed a six-times greater death rate among the fully vaccinated than the unvaccinated and a hospital admission rate of 2.3 percent among those fully vaccinated at least two weeks earlier compared with just 1.2 percent among the unvaccinated.<\/p>\n

Antibody-dependent enhancement?<\/h4>\n

This is reminiscent of the ADE (antibody\u00a0dependent enhancement) phenomenon that has been seen for other vaccine\u00a0and that has been expressed as a point of concern among many scientists for the COVID vaccines,\u201d\u00a0Stephanie\u00a0Seneff, a senior researcher at the\u00a0Massachusetts\u00a0Institute\u00a0of Technology\u2019s\u00a0Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory\u00a0told\u00a0LifeSiteNews.<\/p>\n

ADE blighted previous attempts at coronavirus vaccines and frequently resulted in\u00a0enhanced\u00a0lung\u00a0disease among vaccinated<\/a>\u00a0lab animals. It led researchers in 2012 to advise scientists to\u00a0proceed with \u201ccaution\u201d<\/a>\u00a0for any human coronavirus vaccines which could lead to enhanced lung disease.<\/p>\n

Seneff said\u00a0research\u00a0has shown that coronavirus\u00a0vaccines alter the\u00a0ways\u00a0immune\u00a0systems respond to infection and can activate other sleeping infections in the vaccinated person such as herpes virus, creating symptoms of\u00a0Bell\u2019s palsy<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0shingles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is\u00a0conceivable to me that the laser-beam specificity of the induced\u00a0antibodies is offset by a general weakening of innate immunity,\u201d Seneff said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also\u00a0suspect that massive vaccination campaigns may accelerate the rate at\u00a0which the vaccine-resistant mutant strains become dominant among all the SARS-Co-V2\u00a0[coronavirus]\u00a0strains.\u201d<\/p>\n
