Vaccinated individuals accounted for 11,321 new cases for the week of 11/28-12/4. For that time period, there were 27,167 confirmed cases, meaning vaccinated individuals comprised 42% of cases (71% of MA is fully vaxxed). Vaccinated individuals accounted for 61 of 86 confirmed deaths (71%) for the week of 11/28-12/4 (71% of MA is fully vaxxed). The hospitalizations get a little more tricky, as they only list new hospitalizations for 11/28-11/30, but if the three day average is extrapolated over the 7 day period, then the 273 new vaccinated hospitalizations compare to an estimated 745 total new hospitalizations over the period from 11/28-12/4 or about 37% of new hospitalizations (71% of MA is fully vaxxed). As noted, these percentages are all UNDERCOUNTS.
From 11-28 to 12-4 there were 125 confirmed COVID deaths, not 86. Meaning that vaxed were ~48% of deaths, not 71%. Without breaking things out by age group, we have a pretty large Simpsons effect so it's not really meaningful to calculate a vaccine efficacy but these ratios match what is seen in the UK and Israel which have similar vax numbers to MA, as far as I know. I.e. vaccines work great.
