WHO’s Science in 5 on COVID-19 : Delta variant and vaccines - 1 July 2021

Science in 5 series - Episode #44 / Do the current batch of approved vaccines protect us from the Delta variant? What is the level of protection? If you can still get infected even after being fully vaccinated, then why should we vaccinate? WHO’s Chief Scientist Dr Soumya Swaminathan explains in Science in 5.

Thanks for the information.
But you still didn't answer the question clearly.
Question was the level of protection from first dose and second dose vaccination. You didn't answer that.

All of the data shows (and history ) that this variant is more transmissible but less deadly. So it seems like nature is taking care of it.

[pedroalcocer]

Very useful information on why to get vaccinated.

[scitechtrends]

Thanks WHO for educating us all. Science and updates from around the world.

[gdefense]

So I can still get covid-19 after being vaccinated? Then it's a waste time getting vaccinated. It's like saying it's ok to catch covid-19 as long you are vaccinated. This going to be another nightmare.

[vijayprasad]

Why are you not approving Sputnik V? Is it because they are more efficient than the mRNA vaccines?

[PraveenMuradi]

What percentage of profit do vaccine manufacturers share to WHO ?😂

[AnandMishere]

@WHO, when other countries like America started partying, why is India still seeing increases in Virus mutation?

[arj-peace]

Thank you for this clear, science-based information.

[geertdemeyer]

So she answered the question by not answering it ....hm that gives me lots of reusserance

[onevoice]

How do we know the Delta Variant even exists? It requires a special type of blood testing called genomic sequencing. Who is having blood drawn and sent to microbiologists?

[krystalhall]

Why is it more transmit able? And how do you know?

[scitechtrends]

Stay safe, follow SOPS, and believe in science.

1:22 so WHO is advising that the full course will give full immunity to the delta variant?

[mathewtutkol]

Does those contracted the virus twice and recover from it need to get vaccinated?

The majority of residents in Japan hosting the Olympics will have access to one shot at best before the opening of the event. Delta is spreading and people can actually go in and out of the accommodations of the Olympians who are also not required to be vaccinated to participate. Just a heads up.

[S.Tagore]

Did you give an undertaking that you shall or your guardian/parents on behalf of you take all the risk and responsibility for vaccination after effects. You cannot sue the vaccine manufacturer or the government if you die or severely affected by vaccination (So called Emergency Use Authorisation) ?
"I voluntarily assumed full responsibility for any reactions or consequences that may result."
Vaccination has been imposed on you by the government without taking responsibility of consequences. Vaccine receivers will be held responsible for the consequences to save the vaccine manufacturers. In what a world of deception we are living!
Why WHO don't say anything on this inhuman undertaking by the people to protect vaccine manufacturers ?
Why a child or the guardian to take responsibility for vaccination harm?

[jadel-khoury]

I got the first reason to get vaccinated, I didn't get the second one...
She said that when you're vaccinated, you can still catch it and pass it on to other people, and that's a reason to get vaccinated...

[byronmiller]

Can you comment on the UK model study that showed those who have been vaccinated will be more prone to becoming sick and dying in hospital than those who have not being vaccinated? Why would this model scenario happen?

3rd dose is required with diffferent mechanism vaccine
