Is it just me or does everyone suddenly have Corona but barely anyone new gets seriously sick because they are vaccinated? That typical dry cough with no other sickness symptoms that everyone seems to have is too much of a coincidence.
In fact the title is not correct. There is about 1/3 as many vaccinated people on hospital compared to unvaccinated (giver or take) acc to this article.
But somr 90% of population is vaccinated. Therefore the vaccinated people in hospital come from a group that is 9-10x as large as the group of unvaccinated and therefore the chance of getting in hospital after a vaccine is way lower than 1/3. It’s more like 1/10.
The article doesn’t contain the numbers to make this Calc properly, but the principle remains: title is severely understanding benefit of vaccination.
What’s the other graph you mean?
The title is ~~misleading~~utterly wrong, isn’t it? 65+ are almost all vaccinated – but the numbers are for 100.000, vaccinated or not, right? **If so**, if there’s, say 10% non-vaccinated ones, but still, there’s 3 times more of them in hospitals, vaccine **works god damn well, much better than what the graph says**.
So for Flanders,
* 25 on 10% of 100.000 (10.000) is: one in 400 non-vaccinated is in hospital.
* 9 on 90% of 100.000 (90.000) is: one in **10.000** vaccinated people is in hospital!!!
That is, a non-vaccinated 65+ person is **25** times more likely to end in a hospital…
Edit: what u/cvhaute said, but with numbers 😉.
The previous graph was about (known) infections, this is about hospitalisations.
