So... the vaccine reduces hospital admissions for young adults because some unknown percentage of them are "at risk" due to (unknown?) factors?
This argument reminds me of Greek astronomers inventing epicycles to fit the model to the data!
Are you referring to Vitamin D supplementation? Would be interesting to see a similar study which factors this out.
