10:44 am : Hello, you are not the only one wondering about this, especially since we hear anything and everything. Over the last week of October (which is the most recent for which I have all data at hand), the number of critical care admissions was three per million people fully vaccinated. This population represents 42% of people admitted to critical care and 48% of people admitted to conventional hospitalization. At this stage, we can therefore say to ourselves: but what is the point of being vaccinated?
But to get an idea of the effectiveness of the vaccine, you have to compare the number of hospitalizations against the general populations of vaccinated and unvaccinated. However, the vaccinated represent 86% of the population aged 20 and over. Thus, for a comparable population size, there are approximately 9 times more critical care admissions among unvaccinated people than among those who are fully vaccinated aged 20 and over.
