A nice #COVID19 impact summary
COVID hospitalisations breakdown on 9 August 2021 in Houston Medical Center
Out of 81 hospitalised, 9 vaccinated and 72 unvaccinated
Out of 23 in the ICU, 23 unvaccinated, zero vaccinated
Out of 11 on ventilators, 11 unvaccinated, zero vaccinated
Now, this is a nice showcase but not a representative statistics (one day, small sample).
A more detailed picture could be recently seen in the UK report, which has been promptly picked up by anti-vaxers as proof that "vaccines are harmful", as 63% of people who died of Delta variant received at least one dose of vaccine.
How?
@kravietz then numbers you posted mean nothing, even if you had a much larger sample.
"of people who were hospitalized, how many were vaccinated" is exactly the wrong question
Depending on the total number of vaccinated vs unvaccinated people in the society, you can get any result you want.
For example, if everyone was vaccinated, 100% of hospitalized people would be vaccinated. This says nothing about the effects of the vaccine.
@kravietz
"of people who were vaccinated, how many were hospitalized" would be a better question, but it's incomplete without
"of people who were unvaccinated, how many were hospitalized"
IOW, you need two percentages, or better yet, counts for the whole 2x2 matrix
@wolf480pl 100% agreed.For now each country does that differently. We'll certainly see more proper research published later this year.
This is another summary statistics for US:
