each state has this, and for a while in 2021, most hospitals were reporting 90% patients where unvaccinated, and that's what other countries across the globe showed as well.
Does that site show hospital admits and ICU patients' status? Just quickly looking, I found one showing mortality per 100,000 for people 65+. The per 100,000 metric is hard for me to grasp and get to match up to actual deaths. If it's calculating mortality risk over the deaths shown, it's wildly overstated for our county. I guess maybe it's taking the data from that month and projecting it as out over the year? Maybe that's standard so they don't have to point out that they're calculating it on an annual basis even though they have roughly a month time period in the title?
But for our hospital, it had the super high unvaccinated risk of like 90% in the first quarter, maybe first half of 2021, and then when Delta arrived, the number of hospital admits were moving from heavily unvaccinated to something closer to an even split but I think still like like 60-40 unvaxed, with around 50% of people were vaccinated, so still showing pretty good protection even before accounting for the fact that the at risk population was presumably more likely to be vaccinated. And then around the end of 2021 to early 2022, the ratio started moving quickly towards 50/50 when they stopped sharing it (I'm doing this from memory since the hospital helpfully took all the data down, so the time and exact percentages may be off some), and last I heard it was around 60/40 and still moving. But again, assuming the at risk crowd is more likely to be vaccinated (such that more than 60% of at risk people are vaccinated), that doesn't necessarily mean the vaccine wasn't doing anything. But the people paying attention I think mostly assumed that based on the hospital taking the data down but still pushing vaccinations. That would be an even crazier and dumber decision if the deaths were still heavily unvaxed even while the hospital admits were more likely to be vaxed.
