Those could also be long term side effects of covid. A double digit percentage of people who catch the disease end up in the hospital soon after infection compared to fraction of a fraction of a percent of vaccine recipients in the time after they get the shot.

- seoaeu 5y agoOk, you're clearly a troll. After all the reporting from the last year and a half, no one could seriously believe that the entire population of San Fransisco catching covid would result in fewer than 200 hospital admissions

- detaro 5y agoa) that's the <60y number only b) Isn't that "per 100,000 inhabitants", not "per 100,000 who catch the disease"?
