> the CDC reported an increase from 0.01 to 9% and 0 to 15.1% (between January to May 2021) in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths, respectively, amongst the fully vaccinated [10]. Looking at the CDC slide I think they are referring to (their link is broken), 15.1% was the percentage of people in hospital who were fully vaccinated. It is fully noted on the slide: one would expect this to climb as vaccination level climbed and especially as high risk people were vaccinated first. So they have provided no basis to care about the pandemic post vaccination. Obviously every country wants to use its resources to the max and open as much of it's economy back up as soon as hospital occupancy and death are down so rates of infection should go up unless you reach something like 95% recent vaccination or booster.
