Most vaccines seem to be pretty shit versus the Delta variant. Pfizer/Moderna are about 53%: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7034e3.htm

The CDC website said Pfizer is 53% effective against infection while the Indian one is 66% against symptomatic delta. So it’s probably still not as good as the mRNA ones.
