It says that this is from a population that is 80% vaccinated, so anything below 80% of hospitalizations being from that group shows the vaccine as being at least somewhat effective.
So these stats, if true, support the narrative that the vaccine has some benefit in reducing COVID hospitalizations.
Say there are 10,000 people, 8,000 vaccinated and 2,000 unvaccinated.
Suppose then 100 people end up hospitalized, 60 vaccinated, and 40 unvaccinated.
Then the hospitalization rate for the vaccinated is 0.0075 (1 out of 133.3), and the rate for unvaccinated is 0.02 (1 out of 50).
Of course it could all be lies, but that’s a different problem!

I feel like what we need is:
Cases in unvaxxed people per 100,000 unvaxxed people
And
Cases in vaxxed people per 100,000 vaxxed people
I would say that if 60% of hospitalizations are fully vaccinated individuals it shows the vaccine is completely INEFFECTIVE
Thank you for bringing some hard numbers to the discussion!
