I don't like to weigh in here and mix everything up, but there have been a number of unpublished papers (unpublished...why?), but they all point out the fact that people with natural immunity (not-vaccinated) have a much milder reaction to the delta variant - but then the internet it littered with (published) material which states the contrary.
"More vaccinated people are dying of the delta variant of covid than unvaccinated people, according to a recent report from Public Health England. The report shows that 489 of 742 people (65.9%) who died of the delta variant within 28 days of a positive covid test between 1 February 2021 and 2 August 2021, had received at least one dose of the vaccine. 54.1% (402 of 742) had received both doses."

If you read the link, they try to backpedal out of the figures by comparing it to people who have fatal car accidents whilst not wearing seatbelts, but the math does not add up at all. I won't go into the details now, but the figures show that 2 in 3 people with the delta variant died compared to 1 in 3 who were not vaccinated. Even if we give the benefit of the doubt and call it 50/50, this should put your mind at rest.
Sure people can say that some people simply do not develop the antibodies from the vaccine, and that some who have already had covid are less likely, but this is purely subjective. Plenty of people can get flu twice in a season. There are far too many factors.
I have chosen not to be vaccinated, and nor will I complain if I get covid. The decision and the risk is mine alone. I don't like being TOLD to put meds into my system without fully understanding what they are doing - which is why I will never take another SSRI. Despite what you may have been told that the "technology" behind the vaccine has been around since the 70's - its not true. Many many doctors have spoken openly about this - including a previous ex-partner of Pfizer. Such people could have their lives at stake by openly broadcasting such things about the vaccine. Just little things, little white lies.. they give me reason not to trust. Everyone in England thought Pfizer created the vaccine. Did they? No. The question wasn't asked directly - it was implied. It was created in India - not exactly the hub of world dominant medicine. Pfizer simply MADE the vaccine. There is plenty more, but I want to keep this open ended.
There is every reason to believe that the vaccine MAY be better, but for me, the data doesn't exist, and thus the risk of the long-term effects (untold amount of abortions from vaccinated women being just one example) don't cut it for me. But for the elderly - maybe it is a lifesaver - but ask yourself, why was Prince Philip supposedly improving in his condition, but 2 weeks after he had his jab, the poor guy died! Can they really silence the Royal Family?!
Too many questions. Not enough answers. But most importantly, these as MY views and mine alone. I fully respect what Hat and Frog have said here, and what other people are hypothesising. Being a research worker I am bound to look at things this way!!
