Fact-checking claims about the delta variant, flesh-eating bacteria and more July 2, 2021 4:30 PM By The Associated Press Posted: Updated: Matt Dunham FILE - In this Thursday, June 3, 2021 file photo, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson gives a thumbs up after receiving his second jab of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine, at the Francis Crick Institute in London. On Friday, July 2 The Associated Press reported on stories circulating online incorrectly asserting that data from the U.K.’s public health agency confirms that those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 are anywhere from two times to six times more likely to die from the delta variant than the unvaccinated. But, the data, which was published June 18, shows the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines are highly effective against hospitalization from the variant. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham, Pool, File)
