The UK just said 3 days ago that 60% of covid hospitalizations are vaccinated. Huh?
RE: The UK just said 3 days ago that 60% of covid hospitalizations are vaccinated. Huh?
That was a misunderstanding.

UK science chief corrects delta variant hospitalization stat that’s been widely cited – twitchy.com
The Tweet from Sir Patrick Vallance, UK Science Chief yesterday says:
“Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference today, 19 July. About 60% of hospitalisations from covid are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from covid are currently from unvaccinated people.”
Well, that’s re-assuring. That means 40% of those hospitalized ARE vaccinated people....
Study shows 29% of the 42 people who have died after catching the new strain had BOTH vaccinations.” In Public Health England’s technical briefing on 25 June, that figure had risen to 43% (50 of 117), with the majority (60%) having received at least one dose.”
Re: 60%
The Health Minister said he was misunderstood.
Percentage of vaccinated in UK hospitals corrected to 40%.
