To the editor: As a fully vaccinated and asymptomatic Californian, I feel absolutely no increased burden due to the presence of the Delta variant of COVID-19. In the United Kingdom, where the Delta variant is now dominant strain, there has, likewise, been no significant increase in hospitalizations or deaths. Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have reported good activity against the Delta variant. It has been suggested that I should mask indoors because I have some increased level of responsibility toward those who have not been vaccinated. Because our youngest are not eligible for the vaccines, vaccinated people can still transmit COVID-19 to children.
