Here's what I'm failing to understand.
According to most major studies coming out (including this one: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/227713/coronavirus-infections-three-times-lower-double/ https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/227713/coronavirus-infection...), with the advent of delta variant, the vaccinated have about a 50% less chance of getting infected than unvaccinated people.
If we assume the vaccine offers no additional protection against hospitalization/death given that one is already infected (which is what the author seems to be arguing), then what we should be seeing is 67% of hospitalized COVID patients are unvaccinated, yet we're seeing the rate closer to 97%. So there's obviously something going on here, and the most likely culprit would be that the vaccine does offer protection against hospitalization/death, contrary to the author's argument.
