Why don't they write/draw a Sankey diagram with something like 1 million people on December 1st 2019, with age bracket percentages, and then draw how some got COVID, some got hospitalized, some died, some got the vaccine, some got a booster, some died from things that are not COVID, all in proportion to how it happened in US population. The width of the flows would make it clear how effective vaccines are.
- yuliyp 5y agoTrying to draw a Sankey diagram that accurately describes what is happening are quite difficult: many of the numbers for those < 65 years old, and especially for those < 50 years old) are so small as to be hard to read: telling 1/1k vs 1/100k in a Sankey diagram doesn't work. They're both 1 pixel wide.
