Oh, not to mention darn near everyone dying in IK is full on vaxxed.
Maybe some people pay attention to trends while you addicts just salivate for the next fix, at any and all costs.
The vaccination status of cases, inpatients and deaths is not the most appropriate method to assess vaccine effectiveness and there is a high risk of misinterpretation. Vaccine effectiveness has been formally estimated from a number of different sources...
In the context of very high vaccine coverage in the population, even with a highly
effective vaccine, it is expected that a large proportion of cases, hospitalisations and
deaths would occur in vaccinated individuals, simply because a larger proportion of the
population are vaccinated than unvaccinated and no vaccine is 100% effective. This is
especially true because vaccination has been prioritised in individuals who are more
susceptible or more at risk of severe disease. Individuals in risk groups may also be
more at risk of hospitalisation or death due to non-COVID-19 causes, and thus may be
hospitalised or die with COVID-19 rather than because of COVID-19.
