Because many of these are older individuals with contraindication. The elderly with unknown vaccine status. The homeless. People in nursing homes trying to live out the last years of their life without the discomfort of vaccine side effects.
Not age adjusting the vaccinated and unvaccinated cohort is disingenuous. Not breaking out ‘unknown’ vaccine status — which only becomes relevant for the stats after death - is disingenuous.
You are reading propaganda, and reading it uncritically.
- bonzini 5y agoThe elderly (more susceptible) are overwhelmingly more vaccinated than the younger, not less.
- nostrebored 5y agoMedical records are not well distributed. In most of these statistics, unknown vaccine status is considered to be the same bucket as unvaccinated. My hypothesis is that most of this group is either elderly or homeless. Similarly, there is a selection problem for the elderly who choose to remain unvaccinated. You're saying that they think vaccines are ineffective -- and this is definitely a cohort of people! But there is a separate cohort of people, who are more likely to be hospitalized, who know they have severe existing health problems.
