What a headline lol. So 2/3 is vaccinated. Be careful reading it. You may get dizzy from the spin.
A third of Covid cases in Wales unvaccinated - BBC News
Did you read the article?
“The sheer numbers of people vaccinated - nearly 95% of those over 60 and 84% of those under 60 - mean that statistically, double-vaccinated people will still be a significant proportion of hospital patients.”
“Last winter, when Covid cases in the community were similarly high but the vaccine programme had only just started, there were four times as many Covid patients in hospitals in Wales.”
“Dr Chris Williams, consultant epidemiologist for PHW, said: "A large majority of adults in Wales have now received two doses of coronavirus vaccine, so it is to be expected that a significant proportion of people in hospital will be fully vaccinated.
"Also, the majority of people in hospital are older.
"This group is more likely to be vaccinated, but also are more likely to be hospitalised because of underlying health conditions, reduced immune response, and because they are more clinically vulnerable."
“Broken down, the hospital admissions rate for the under 60s is 3.5 times higher for unvaccinated, compared to those vaccinated. It is also 1.9 times greater for those unvaccinated who are over 60 and those who have been vaccinated.”
“The case rate amongst the unvaccinated population is far higher - 1,026 cases per 100,000, compared to 348 cases per 100,000 in those who have been double-dosed with a vaccine. The median age of someone testing positive is 34.”
I can’t even begin to fathom how the anti-vaxxers are still getting mad about being treated like unintelligent, politically motivated rubes who are only looking for confirmation and validation of their own opinions, but somebody posts this article as an example of misleading vaccine “spin” and nobody calls them out on it. The article explains the headline twice and the is full of data, none of which is good for the “vaccine doesn’t do anything significant” agenda.
