I'm not sure the infection rates are reliable: vaccinated folks are much more likely to be asymptomatic or experience mild symptoms, so are much less likely to be tested to confirm infection vs. unvaccinated ones.
- zz865 5y agoAlso higher risk people are more likely to be vaccinated.
- dntrkv 5y agoBut vaccinated people are more likely to take a COVID test.
- twofornone 5y agoWhy would they take a covid test if they believe they are immune?
- pupppet 5y agoWho says the vaccinated believe they're immune? I certainly don't.
- t0bia_s 5y agoBecause vaccinated don't need to be tested. At least in my country. So beside of segregation people on two groups, there is one important question. Does our govement want more people dead because of this nonsense?
- sixothree 5y agoBecause they are more responsible.
- itsananderson 5y agoBecause vaccinated people mostly don't believe they're immune. We believe we have a strong protection against infection and a stronger protection against death, but that doesn't mean immunity. My wife and I have been fully vaccinated since May, but we've had several tests since then (so far all negative) when we learned about contact with infected people or were experiencing suspicious symptoms.
- pengaru 5y ago> We believe... I'm vaccinated but had no idea I had such representation on HN, I believe you should speak for yourself sir.
- CamperBob2 5y agoIf you disagree, you're wrong, because the GP comment reflects the best currently-available information. Are you OK with being wrong? That's been the weirdest part of this whole business for me... learning just how many people simply don't care if they're wrong.
- pengaru 5y agoI believe most people willing to tell just anyone their beliefs are likely dishonest, and most the honest people are less forthcoming with their beliefs, in part just to avoid potentially having to lie.
- ripper1138 5y agoAre you serious dude relax. It’s ridiculous for someone to say “we” like every vaccinated person acts exactly the same across the whole country, much less the world.
- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoIt's not the question of being right or wrong but speaking on someone's behalf. It would be enough to say "As a vaccinated person, I believe..."

- rvnx 5y agoDon't have non-vaccinated people less risk of dying as a baseline ? (because if they are against vaccine, probably they statistically have less comorbidities, otherwise they'd take the vaccine). If this is the case, then it would mean the vaccine is even more effective than it seems.
- TheDong 5y agoThere's at least a baseline of tests from activities which require a negative test report. For example, traveling to canada requires a negative covid test before crossing the border, so I'd expect vaccinated people to get tests at at least that baseline. I do agree this data would be more compelling and reliable if we did covid tests of a random sample of the population and compiled infection data from that, entirely removing any self-selection bias.
- FabHK 5y agoDeath rates should be pretty reliable, though.
