Not sure about your statistics but in short, they do. And if everyone was on board we'd be through this by now. Those who don't get vaccinated are mutation factories. It's possible that a worse strain, like the delta variant, becomes resistant to the vaccines we are using today. Get vaccinated, when you're begging for air on a ventilator it'll be too late.
All your solutions turn out not to work and then you ask everyone to get on board yet again.
"It's possible that a worse strain, like the delta variant, becomes resistant to the vaccines"
It is also possible that the vaccines turn out to have long term side effects, and the delta variant is even less deadly than the original if that is possible.
97% of covid hospitalizations in the U.S. are unvaccinated.
I was wondering if the British guy is just reading the U.K. statistic wrong... again. Perhaps, he meant 40% of all hospitalizations are covid-related? If I find more info, I'll update.
But recent figures show that the number of people, who have received both doses and are catching the virus with some then being hospitalised, is rising.
Sir Patrick said: "Vaccines are not 100% effective. They're very very effective, but not 100%
"As a higher proportion of the population is double vaccinated, it's inevitable that those 10% of that very large number remain at risk and will therefore be amongst the people who both catch the infection and end up in hospital."
Sir Patrick also reiterated the vaccine is less effective at stopping people catching and spreading coronavirus that it is at preventing serious illness.
"We should expect to see a higher proportion of people in hospital and catching the infection that are double-vaccinated because of the less than 100% efficacy oft he vaccines overall. "
Boris Johnson also told the press conference that the number of people catching COVID despite being double jabbed had been rising.
Heh, so once most of everyone has been vaccinated, it'll be replaced with people in hospital that are fully vaccinated. KEK! How does it prevent death again? 10% is a lot still if the population was mostly vaxxed than unvaxxed. I'm curious if anyone survives this after double jabbed and in the hospital. Does hospital mean ICU or what?
The U.K. is using AstraZeneca which has an efficacy of 70% overall. It's not effective against the S. African variant.
Moderna and Pfizer have an efficacy rate of 95%. Perhaps that's the discrepancy between the U.S. and U.K. hospitalizations.
All vaccines have a 100% efficacy against severe and critical cases.
The few fully vaccinated persons dying tend to have been very frail and/or fighting another illness like cancer. I'll add that there is a small percentage of the population which has a compromised immune system so the vaccine may not work as well for them.
As far as preventing cases, Israeli data shows very little difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated. As for whether the vaccine protects cases from becoming hospitalizations, their data shows 3% chance of cases become hospitalizations for unvaccinated. 1% for vaccinated. So yes, it is protective... but marginal. Though the cases vs. hospitalizations data is not broken down by age group, which would useful to know.
Just one serious COVID patient in Israel is both vaccinated and under 60.
Report indicates more than 60% of those hospitalized with coronavirus are fully vaccinated, but almost all are over age 60.
Only one of 61 Israelis hospitalized with COVID in serious condition is a fully vaccinated individual under the age of 60, Channel 12 news reported Sunday, citing Health Ministry figures.
According to the report, 24 of those in serious condition are unvaccinated, while 37 are fully vaccinated. The lone seriously ill fully vaccinated person under 60 was in the 50-59 age group.
99.97%. Whatâs going on is people are being forced into getting a shot that does nothing but kill people and cause massive side effects. The bodies immune system is what generates immunity. And it does it successfully 99.97% of the time.
