So is the idea that the vaccine worked because it could have been worse?
If you are dead you can no longer catch the Rona.
No—this denotes a vaccine failure, but she only had mild disease. Massachusetts just reported 71 deaths from covid in 71 fully vaccinated people.
For many, it appears to be the case; however, out of 117 deaths from Delta in the UK, 50 were among people who had been double vaxxed. These were mainly older and/or deblitated.
