Was trying to figure out what the person was trying to say but the comment is now deleted.
From the BBC article:
Broken down, the hospital admissions rate for the under 60s is 3.5 times higher for unvaccinated, compared to those vaccinated. It is also 1.9 times greater for those unvaccinated who are over 60 and those who have been vaccinated.
I'm guessing they are trying to point out that the hospitalization is greater, percentage-wise based on the population of that group, for unvaccinated.
As an example:
100 population 80 vaxed 20 unvaxed
20 people in hospital 15 vaxed 5 unvaxed
from hospitalized group:
75% vaxed 25% unvaxed
percentage hospitalized based on that population group:
15/80 = 19% vaxed 5/20 = 25% unvaxed
And just in case anyone is wondering, no I'm not vaxed and don't plan to get vaxed. I believe natural immunity is much better than vaccine immunity, especially with what we're seeing with these new vaccines.
I'm guessing the formatting of my example won't look too good. Not sure how to force blank lines in a comment/post. Feel free to shed some light on that for me if you have the answer.
