  They read the figure correctly. Unfortunately the study authors didn’t provide the underlying data that created the figure in a consumable format, so it’s hard to draw conclusions.

    Table 1 tells us that there were 6 total Omicron-period deaths while hospitalized in the fully vaccinated group. It is almost certainly a single death. It's conceivable that it's two deaths, but more than that appears mathematically impossible.

      Precisely, but what gp said is technically correct. Honestly it was fairly irresponsible for the study authors not to contextualize that graphic better.

  Hey, even if he's wrong, you're not going to convince anyone with personal attacks. I was surprised at the data too.

    Unless I'm reading the report wrong, it's from a single hospital. We shouldn't be taking any lessons from such a limited dataset as there are far too many possible confounding factors that would be ameliorated in a larger dataset from more hospitals.

      That's a fair point, but the literature here does say what the original comment stated, which makes the whole reading-comprehension thing excessive.
