Though correct, this is a dumb statistic used to peddle antivax propaganda. As vaccination rates rise, this number also rises.
If 100% of people were vaccinated, 100% of all Covid ICU patients would be vaccinated.
Spain has quite high vaccination rates, which is why this ratio is so high there.
- polote 5y agoYou missed the point of op. The point was that it is not unvaccinated people who fill up icu beds. That's everyone. If you kill all unvaccinated people you have 100% vaccination rate and icu beds will still fill up
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThe point is that if the majority of ICU beds are filled with vaccinated, you cant scapegoat the unvaccinated for your ICU shortage. If they aren't hurting anyone but themselves, who cares!
- onlyrealcuzzo 5y agoAlso 40-60% is a big margin. Is that Covid ICU beds, or total ICU beds? What percentage of ICU beds are treating strictly Covid patients? My understanding is that it's <50% most of the year. I don't have a source. Does anyone? ~73% of people in Netherlands are fully vaccinated. If this is all ICU beds (and not just Covid ICU patients) - then you would expect 73% of x% (where x is greater than 50%) to be fully vaccinated patients. Therefore, you're still in a world where unvaccinated patients are 9-10x more likely to be in an ICU bed. But you get this "data point" anti-vax people can spread that "It's actually the vaccinated people clogging up the beds!!"
