Here are more detailed statistics that were used as the source for this article:

See breakdowns per age group and infection location.
The distribution of vaccinations per age group is here:
https://www.rivm.nl/en/covid-19-vaccination/figures-vaccination-programme https://www.rivm.nl/en/covid-19-vaccination/figures-vaccinat...
Which shows that the proportion of vaccinated youngsters (who dominate in recent infections) is more or less in line with other age groups.
By aligning those numbers with total amount of people in specific age group, one could tell the impact of vaccine for (not) getting ill
At a quick glance (excluding behavioral contexts, which are more difficult to measure) it seems obvious that having no vaccination substantially increases the chance of getting ill. Which is not really the news, as pharmas already published such information after their own tests.
The difference now is that these are official and substantial numbers to draw an independent conclusion. So, theoretically any anivaxxer who understands the statistics, should be easy to be persuaded
- BurnGpuBurn 5y agoWho needs persuasion? For what? To protect the elderly and sick people? Haven't they all got the chance already to protect themselves? Then why should anyone be forced (or persuaded) to take it? Oh and again, and "infection", often determined by a positive pcr test, doesn't mean you "have covid", or are sick at all. Expecially with young people today we should be glad they all get infected with a variant that doesn't make them sick. It's what virusses do after all, they mutate and get more viral and less deadly. Great news, let's party and infect each other so that everybody makes anti-bodies so that we achieve herd immunity and protect the elderly and the weak during winter. That is science. For some more clarification: In The Netherlands for the last couple of weeks there have been about 200 covid patients lying in the about 300 hospitals we have here. Less than one covid patient per hospital.
