Half of the people getting hospitalized are not getting hospitalized for COVID. They are just testing positive for COVID.
And hospitals nearly always run near capacity. And their capacity is also determined by staffing, which is going down because nurses don't want to get vaccinated against a virus they are probably immune to.
All factors matter. You can't just claim vaccination would be a panacea, even if it appears that way.
