Claims that vaccinated people are more likely to die from Delta are misleading

Misleading online claims state that data from the U.K. shows people who are vaccinated are more likely to die from the highly contagious Delta COVID-19 variant than people who did not get the vaccine. One article with the headline “Vaccinated people found to be 600% more likely to die from covid ‘variants’ than unvaccinated people” cites a briefing from Public Health England (PHE) that looked at cases, hospitalizations, and deaths stemming from Delta.
