Here is some very useful data. Facts.
New COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations Among...
COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness against hospitalizations was stable, but it declined against new infections among adults in New York during May–July 2021.www.cdc.gov
This is a study of 10 million+ vaccinated individuals from New York state. The data is anlayzed in weekly chunks; the last week being very current, July19-July26, and therefore represents mostly Delta infections.
The key data is in Table 1.
Vaccinated individuals had Covid infections (not hospitalizations) at the rate of 3.9/100,000 person-days.
Unvaxxed had Covid infections at the rate of 21/100,000. Efficacy of vaccine for Delta at 80%.
Vaccinated individuals had Covid hospitalizations at the rate of 0.19/100,000 person-days.
Unvaxxed had Covid hospitalizations at the rate of 1.78/100,000. Efficacy of vaccine for Delta at 95%.
Two points are crystal clear from this data on almost 14 million people.
1) Unvaccinated individuals are keeping the pandemic going.
2) Unvaccinated individuals are keeping hospitals full (corollary--by keeping hospitals full, they are keeping vaccinated individuals from receiving elective but important surgeries, and preventive care (colonoscopies, etc)).
Our great nation thrives on rivalries. North vs. South. Yankees vs. Red Sox. pitt vs. Penn State. Vaxxed vs. Unvaxxed is the latest such rivalry. Just sit back and enjoy the intense competition here, like all the others.
