Out of the numerous paragraphs in your post,

Any discussion here on the above quote, that paragraph is fact or not?


You've got to read it in context. The rest of the paragraph.

"If you peer deeper, you’ll generally find this: The vaccinated remain substantially protected against serious illness or death, but the unvaccinated are entering the hospital and dying at very high rates indeed, as if to compensate. Thus Israel has maintained the same case fatality rate of around 0.7%, before and after mass vaccination. If this is just Delta being more dangerous, then we would expect countries with lower vaccination rates to be enduring truly staggering mortality right now, but they are not. In heavily vaccinated countries, Delta is raging with a rare fury among the unvaccinated, but in lesser-vaccinated countries it is doing nothing unusual. This means that the efficacy statistics are broadly unreliable. The exact reasons don’t really matter: Either the vaccines have the power to change the whole picture, or they don’t."


Gotcha, "if you peer deeper".......

Slightly mis-leading the way I glanced at it,

'first impression' or 'initial reports' might have a better lead with that paragraph.

All good.
