And actually, to your first point, that is not accurate.

For the vaccinated breakthrough cases, I calculated what percentage of the breakthrough cases were hospitalized and what percentage of the breakthrough cases died.

And the same for “unvaccinated” cases

Looking at whole numbers does not give an accurate picture, as I said, because the data is skewed. Half of the months included in these numbers few vaccinated. Percentages is what matters. Percentage wise, there is very little difference between risk of hospitalizations and deaths between the two groups.

You need to look at unskewed data. Vaccinated have a 10:1 lower chance of catching covid, going to the hospital, and dying. Yes, if you get a bad breakthrough you’re in the same trouble that an unvaccinated would have with a bad case.

The case data is broken down by vaccinated:unvaccinated in this PDF:

At the bottom of that report is the chart to look at that shows your chance of getting a case of covid. Start there.. and then figure out what percentage go on to be hospitalized and or die. Pretty clear the blue group is MUCH better off than the red group.

And again, I don’t want people (YOU) dying. Maybe you’re strong as an ox or already recovered from covid and you’re fine.. but the over 50 crowd (like me) needs to take this seriously.
