Medfag here. Unfortunately this data is incomplete. Without knowing the percentage of people in the population that are vaccinated, we cannot really determine if the vaccine is effective based on this data.

What this data does show is that, among those who are hospitalized with Covid, if you have been fully vaccinated you are 63% less likely to end up in the ICU than if you are unvaccinated.

That’s just the facts of this data. Some have pointed out that the data is lagging behind the reality right now, that vaccinated cases are on the rise. That may be true. There may be other variables at play too. That’s why generally it’s a bad idea to draw conclusions based on an abstract piece of data.

This data could be cherry picked or any number of things. However, what you shouldnt do is claim that this data shows that vaccines are not effective. Because it doesn’t. Plain and simple.

TLDR: this is ambiguous data and should not be used to draw any conclusions at all, especially not that the vaccines are not effective. I’m against these vaccines fwiw.
