I'm not sure why I'm bothering, but here are the relevant data points from the article to determine order-of-magnitude hospitalization rates for the 2 groups:
> fully vaccinated people accounted for fewer than 1,200 of more than 853,000 COVID-19 hospitalizations. That’s about 0.1%.
> About 63% of all vaccine-eligible Americans — those 12 and older — have received at least one dose, and 53% are fully vaccinated
- necovek 5y agoThanks for bothering :) And sure, I agree it's implied that people are getting equal exposure to the virus but vaccinated are getting infected less often, but that's hard to quantify. And you are right, my initial take was completely off mark because of this. Still, I am guessing there's at list a single digit multiplier (2-3x) for risky behaviour of the unvaccinated group: they are more likely to also shun masks, mingle with more people, etc. But it's a guess only. So again, my problem is with ignoring all of that and spouting some numbers out — they are always going to be misleading. CDC did not do an analysis for a reason.
