I think I may be reading/interpreting your comment incorrectly after writing this/digging up these sources -
Whether or not Delta specifically is causing a larger impact on severity of outcomes, we know for a fact that it's more transmissible. And unvaxxed are quite literally dying 99:1 against vaxxed now - mostly from delta. Even if it's less likely to kill/cause severe irreversible organ damage per case, it seems somewhat safe to say the vast majority of unvaxxed are going to get it sooner than later at this point because of increased transmissibility - which will lead to a giant pile of bodies that didn't need to happen.
I would like to think that info alone probably indicates that delta is having a larger affect on the severity of outcomes, but I know there's more to statistical analysis than that. Anyways.
