It's meaningless, unadjusted percentages of separate populations.
Idk if it's supposed to mislead or confuse, or if they're just idiots at the CDC that don't understand statistics.
They shouldn't be comparing percentages of the 3 populations, which is misleading based on different subset sizes.
They should be saying what percentage of each demographic has been vaccinated, which is what they insinuate.
They give 9.9% total and 14.6% last 14 days representative proportions for Black, who are 12.4 % of the US population.
And 61.6% total and 47.9% 14-day for White, who are 61.2% of the US.
These seem fairly even, but really 9.9/12.4 gives only 80% of black proportional makeup.
While White is 61.6/61.2= 101%
And it makes no sense to compare the 14 day subset percentage against either other number.
