You're absolutely right, and that isn't happening only in the UK. It has happened in some of the most well-vaccinated countries in the world, such as Israel. The majority of vaccinated people who catch the Delta variant will, experts have said recently, experience mild symptoms and be far better off than if they hadn't been vaccinated. The same has not been true, they report, for some older people with comorbidities.

For people who fall into that second group, and even for those who don't, there is nothing wrong with continuing to take precautions. Australia doesn't politicize basic health issues like this and you can see they've reinstated certain restrictions because of the Delta variant.
