In my state (Saxony), 90% of patients in intensive care beds are unvaccinated. Just under 60% of the population is fully vaccinated here (lowest rate in Germany). That means that the unvaccinated are in fact "overrepresented" in intensive care by a factor of about 22.
- bhaak 5y agoI've seen that number as well but Saxony also has the lowest vaccination rate of all the Bundesländer in Germany, so you would expect there to be a much worse ratio of unvaccinated to vaccinated in the ICU as the relationship is not linear (which throws off a lot of people). You'd think that 50% vaccination rate accounts for something but it only halves the speed of the spreading of the virus which doesn't help that much for an exponential rate (I hope my math checks out :-).
