Re:Vaccination blunts, but does not defeat Delta by valarauko on Tuesday August 17, 2021 @03:10PM (#28213642)

For the sake of clarity, the first viral genome of B.1.617 (eventually named Delta) was identified by India's variant tracking program on October 5, 2020, long before any vaccines were approved. India's case load was also quite low at this point, and the initial lockdown was being slowly rolled back.
