Not sure where the early downvotes are coming from but this is correct: my state has 95% 2 dose vaccination of adults and currently 150 ventilated patients- half of those are unvaccinated. So 5% of the population represents 50% of ICU ventilator capacity.

While I'm sure the unvaccinated represent more, it's also true that many reporting stats considered double vaccinated to be in the unvaccinated category if they are eligible for a booster and haven't had them.

  Yup. I’ve seen similar gaming. Of the people who died in Singapore, 5/8th weren’t “fully vaccinated”, so they lump in the ones with one dose and those who haven’t met some predefined period of time post-2nd dose.

  I don't know which sites you're seeing but the ones I use tend to break that out as “partially vaccinated” or “fully vaccinated” vs “fully vaccinated with booster” — which is good since the evidence has shown that there's a big difference between the waning protection against infection (i.e. neutralizing antibodies) versus protection against severe cases (i.e. T cells) even for partial vaccination. https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/health/covid-vaccine-states-distribution-doses/?itid=sf_coronavirus_sn_covid-vaccine-states-distribution-doses_5 https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/health/covid-va... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccina... https://covidactnow.org/ https://covidactnow.org/ uses “at least one dose” for the national map but breaks out their state-level displays as “1+” and “fully vaccinated”.
