The equivalent also exists in several EU countries.
Regarding the vaccinated vs non vaccinated ratio in hospital it is a mathematical evidence that has nothing to do with the efficacy of the vaccine: if you painted a red dot on more and more people’s forehead, you would see the percentage of dotted people in hospital would increase and become a majority, without creating a causative link between their hospitalisation and the dot.
Why would so many red dots in hospital still not raise questions about the vaccine’s efficacy? Surely if the vaccine was the perfect answer all red dots should be at home with mild cold symptoms?
I believe you are wrong.Again that is entirely misleading. While the chances for an infected vaccinated person of transmitting the virus are broadly similar to those of an unvaccinated, the chances of the vaccinated person to be infected in the first place are much lower than an unvaccinated one, and if in turn he is surrounded by vaccinated people he less likely to infect them.
There’s is no doubt the vaccines are a good thing but by itself, with no other precautionary measures in place, you might as well give people biscuits.
