Yes it's always been expected that vaccinated people will still die, just at much lower rates for the strains they were vaccinated for, and lower rates for variants like delta, though not as much of a reduction.

So that article doesn't give surprising information.
The numbers there are consistent with that, since about 90% of people over 50 in the UK have had at least one shot, and about 73% in that age group have had both shots. So, the 10% completely unvaccinated account for 35% of the delta variant deaths in the over 50 age group (38 of 109).

Remember, the vaccines were made 16 months ago, so they're not customized to recent mutations. They're extremely effective against the original strains, and still effective (just not as much) against the highly virulent delta variants.

Tying this back to BRAV, it means masks will be needed for a while longer, especially in health care and "event" settings, until delta is under control or delta-specific vaccines/boosters can be made, which may explain why BRAV's medicalmaskssuperstore traffic continues to regularly hit new highs.
