I don't know how one could know how many "died from the vaccine" without a comparable study of how many not vaccinated in a control group with similar populations who died.
Other than a vaccinated individual suffering an immediate, violent, deadly reaction within minutes of receiving the vaccine, I agree.

I have no idea if that has ever happened.  It seems unlikely but I suppose is still possible.  It would maybe come across like those sudden auto-immune reactions that occur in super-rare cases.

Looks like the vaccines are pretty good against this new Delta variant, which seems to be extremely highly transmissible...

I think you are right but in Israel, whose population is highly vaccinated by global standards > 60%, and with a population of over 9 million, has seen an uptick in new daily infection that has gone from about 10 per day to 200, and about one-half of the infected persons are vaccinated. The overwhelming percentage of Israel's vaccinated population received Moderna and Pfizer. Delta Variant Outbreak in Israel Infects Some Vaccinated Adults - WSJ 

So it is not over, yet. As we go indoors in the colder months, masks will probably make a comeback amongst the cautious, and amongst the vulnerable, because of the risk posed by variant, and fewer colds, less flu, less COVID-19.

In the meantime, I am going to enjoy this summer, and hope we don't get Portland's weather in Iowa.

Not sure if this belongs in this thread or the 2021 season thread, but an interesting data point. Recall how last spring we were all concerned/interested to see what enrollment numbers would do based on the whole COVID situation?

Well, the U of M is expecting a big incoming frosh class in the fall.

Star Tribune

The University of Minnesota's incoming freshman class is on track to be its largest in decades and its most diverse in history, suggesting the state's flagship institution will see a big enrollment rebound this fall as it returns to mostly normal operations.

Freshman confirmations are up 14% at the Twin Cities campus, with nearly 7,500 new students committed to attend compared with just 6,500 at this time last year. Systemwide, freshman confirmations are up 12% across the U's five campuses.



For comparison's sake, my incoming class from fall 2002 was around 5,000.

College-aged kids of several of my friends took an off-year last year, and one of them deferred enrollment.  

I sure as heck wouldn't pay in-person college tuition for my child to attend via Zoom.  And I have no idea how they did any of the engineering labs when they were 100% online, it's completely impossible to gain anywhere close to the proper learning in that environment.
