14 min listen

New data from Israel shows that the Delta variant is getting through the protection offered by double jabs, even though the vaccines do lessen symptoms.  But the study, of more than 800,000 cases, suggests those who have recovered from Covid have stronger protection than those who have not: jabbed or unjabbed. Will this make it harder to justify “no jab, no job” policies, if those at risk of losing their jobs say they can prove they were diagnosed positive and now have antibodies? Isabel Hardman talks to Fraser Nelson and Kate Andrews.
