> Ontario science table dashboard has the hospitalization ratio for vaccinated to unvaccinated still at 5:1. Where are you getting that these rates have become nearly equal? If the rates are the same, and 5/6 people are vaccinated, we would expect 5/6 people admitted to the hospital to be vaccinated. In fact, 5/6 people are vaccinated in the 12-40 age cohort, with older (and more vulnerable) populations having at least 9/10 people vaccinated and quickly going to 19+/20. Therefore, vaccines prevent hospitalizations, as the average of all adults is greater than 5/6.

  You're misunderstanding. The dashboard is per Capita (so you don't need to account for the stuff you're describing), and shows 5x lower rate of vaccinated people hospitalized (and 10x lower ventilated). A far cry from the ~1.5x rate mentioned by ggp

  Corrections: My above post was written in response to the unedited version of the GP post, which stated the 5:1 ratio was vaccinated:unvaccinated (and implied it was based on total numbers). Apparently, since I posted it was edited (and corrected) to say it was 5:1 ratio of unvaccinated to vaccinated (and based on per capita.) This makes far more sense and also makes my reply look insane. I take GP at their word that there were just errors in writing their post. But it does leave a weird artifact out there that I cannot fix.
