Better question might be how much more deadly. Indications seem to be that


It is more deadly but probably not sufficient data to show how much more.

From WebMD citing a Lancet study

Scientists are still tracking the data to determine how deadly it is. Based on hospitalizations in the U.K., the Delta variant does seem to be more likely to lead to hospitalization and death, particularly among unvaccinated people, according to a recent study published in The Lancet.


From AMA:
“We know that it appears to be both more contagious and more severe than earlier versions of the virus,” explained Dr. Irons explained during a separate episode of the “AMA COVID-19 Update” on vaccination efforts and Novavax. “We're seeing patients becoming sicker and their conditions are worsening much more quickly.
