“In Colorado, currently at the peak of surge, slightly more than 80% of hospitalized patients are unvaccinated, higher yet in the ICUs.”
I’ve noticed many of your comments like the one above tend to be vague, unspecific, just like the media and similar agenda pushers.
80% of hospitalized patients could be lots of surgeries, all sorts of other truly non covid primary admission patients.
all of colorado or just major hospitals?
higher yet in ICU meaning 81% 82%, 83% 99%?

Exactly.
Talk about “hearsay”….THAT post is a classic example.
I’ll take a trusted FReeper’s word over these $hilling FRoctors and $hift working $hot $hills.
Good point!
There is no state-wide reporting system in place that would collect such information. And hospitals are extremely reluctant to keep census data that would identify the percentages of "vaccinated" and "unvaccinated" patients in any context.
They do report COVID-19 positive test results as required by the State. That is the only published statistic with any chance of being accurate.
Other statistics are gathered covertly from extremely small sample populations and questionable reliability, or simply made up on the spot to suit a particular agenda. Yeah, "our side" does that too. Caveat Emptor.
It would not be difficult or expensive to collect the necessary data and accurate data would have critical policy implications. The fact that it isn't being done tells me everything important about what is probably in the data that they don't want to collect.
