It’s true that the vaccines don’t seem to be super effective against getting infected. I have several friends who got sick and tested positive despite being double-vaccinated. They recovered quickly though, more quickly than I did from getting infected before vaccines were widely available.
I also have a physiotherapist friend who’s been working Covid wards at an NHS hospital in London. Lots of bad Covid cases right now, but the vast majority are unvaccinated.
- disambiguation 5y ago> Lots of bad Covid cases right now, but the vast majority are unvaccinated that's a very interesting anecdote relative to the UK report GP linked If you look at the hospitalization data (table of page 13) the vaccinated actually out number the unvaccinated in terms of hospitalizations.

- Reason077 5y agoI think they're referring to this document, which details Covid rates by vaccinated/non-vaccinated status: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1025358/Vaccine-surveillance-report-week-41.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... According to this document, in terms of absolute numbers there are indeed more vaccinated being admitted to hospitals in many age groups than unvaccinated. But of course in terms of overall population, you're much more likely to end up in hospital if you're unvaccinated.
