Because that is not how it works. Come on, I know you are smarter than that. If you are trying to show the percentage of vaccinated people who die versus the number of non-vaccinated who die, you have to use the total number of infections. That gives you the percentage of deaths that were vaccinated versus non-vaccinated. It's simple math and statistics 101. All you are doing is falsely portraying the data to support your biased agenda. But you already know that…That's the point. To show the rates within each vaccination status category. I thought this obvious.
How else can you compare whether the vaccines are indeed offer a lower rate of hospitalizations, ICU admissions, or deaths without separating the status groups and comparing the results of each status group to the others?
They are on a rate basis WITHIN each group. The numbers are clearly listed. How anyone could get confused by them is a mystery to me.
1.25% = unvaccinated (4,509 deaths out of 381,838 unvaccinated cases)
1.81% = partially vaccinated (326 / 18,048)
1.67% = fully vaccinated (63 / 3,782)
The rate at which partially or fully vaccinated persons have died within their respective status group is higher than unvaccinated. It's right there in the numbers. It's not a large difference, to be sure -- four- to five-tenths of a percentage point. But there is a difference. The question is, will the rates within the partially and fully vaccinated groups stay at current levels or will they drop as the sample of cases gets larger? Are the rate differences a factor of the smaller sample sizes in the partially and fully vaccinated categories? Only time will tell.
Lumping all the deaths and cases together as you suggest hides the fact that there are definite in-group rate differences. I would call that deliberate obfuscation. I would call that "fake news", "alternative facts" and misinformation, to use your jargon.
Why would someone want to hide in-group rate differences?
Now my lung capacity had gone.
Ay Caramba. I am Donald Ducked.
My goal is to say this is real.
I am real. I am not some bot or have an agenda.
So when I see or read any info from the anti vaxx or the conspiracy theorist then I can call nonsense on it.
While you can still catch it, you're far less likely to end up hospitalised.The new strains don't care if you are vaccinated or not. They still get you. No one knows what the MU strain will do but there is a concern that it will kill even the vaccinated apparently. Therefore, I will still practice ALL of the protocols including the avoidance of ladies who sell their wares on the street corner.
Your still misreading the statistics.That's the point. To show the rates within each vaccination status category. I thought this obvious.

I can tell you without statistics that the vaccines work, don't need statistics to see what I can see everyday with my own eyes…
I'm not a doctor but I read the manual!!You are just a doctor. What the hell do you know?
I'm not a doctor but I read the manual!!
Yes! They are self explanatory!But do you know how to read the charts?
I'm not a doctor but I will give free breast exams.
So what effect do you see Hugh? I'm really interested in what the real effect is of the vaccines, also in combination with the different variants of the virus and the different types of vaccines. Would be great to hear some personal experiences instead of the things in the media.Your still misreading the statistics.

I had a packet of crisps and no idea what flavour they were. Then tried curry sauce again no flavour. Bbq sauce again couldn't taste them.
Absolutely bizarre.
I feel much better now and hopefully over the worst of it. Still a bit poorly and lacking taste but back on the mend.
Didn't need hospital so maybe vaccine worked or my health was good enough. Dunno.
But thank you for the best wishes.
Much less admissions and ITU requirement. Without vaccine we peaked at ~75 ITU COVIDs and ~550 total inpatients (around 55% hospital capacity and 250% ITU capacity). Now with the vaccine and similar levels of community transmission we have ~50 inpatients and ~15 on ITU (all non vaccinated or antivax). Less than 5 vaccinated ITU patients (all single dose) very few deaths for the most part among vaccinated population.So what effect do you see Hugh?
