    What exactly is incorrect about the statement from the White House?

    QUOTE
    In October, unvaccinated individuals had a 5 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 and a 14 times greater risk of dying from it, as compared to fully vaccinated individuals, according to data compiled by the CDC. Additionally, unvaccinated individuals had a 10 times greater risk of testing positive for COVID-19 and a 20 times greater risk of dying from it, as compared to fully vaccinated individuals with a booster.
    UNQUOTE

    I am sure people will say, "oh, if they want to take the risk, that is their choice.". NO, it is like a pebble being dropped into a pond. Their being in the hospital means one less bed for someone who has scheduled surgery. Which means they are putting others in danger. Etc etc Someone wants to drive 100 km/hr down a residential street. "OH, that it their choice. If they want to risk their life, they should be able to do it." Eye yay yay 🙄

    Again, it gets back to the point that to live in a civilized society, there are things that we should (or must) do that we may not fully agree with.

    Incorrect?

    Because it's bullshit.

    Breakthrough cases got up to 10% down here during the Delta wave.

    Infections or hospitalization?
    Either way, that means 90%+ of cases are not breakthrough, 90%+ of cases hit the unvaccinated.

      So non-vaccinated made up 90% of the cases? That's greater than 5 times the risk for testing positive, which is what the government claimed.

      I was only joking

        @Axtremus @Doctor-Phibes Agree, That was my point. It is one thing to have COVID and be mild or no symptoms.

        Another stage all together to be in the hospital.

          Yeah but it's a democrat saying it so it must be criticized.

          Reminder: I am a conservative, but I am glad to see the government making the messaging very clear.

                  What claims have I made that imply I like the government? What I like, in this case, is the government being clear in the messaging about how we can get past this pandemic. What I don't like are the continued mask mandates, COVID waves, and deaths across the country. Politics has nothing to do with this. I'd be saying the same thing if Trump sent this message.

                    It’s poor and misleading statistical analysis for one. Let’s say that EVERY SINGLE PERSON that is hospitalized is unvaccinated (and we know that’s not true) then .065% of the unvaccinated are hospitalized with COVID.

                    The way it’s presented makes it seem like 99.9975% of the hospitalizations are unvaccinated and we know that’s simply not true. The real number is likely around 20%. And yes, @Doctor-Phibes that means that 30% of the population represents 80% of the hospitalizations. Obviously vaccination helps. Just not at the levels that we are being led to believe.

                    I’ notice that they’re are also not pointing out that that 80% or more of the hospitalized are elderly.

                        That's the thing - pretty much any numbers being thrown around now are estimations or WAGs. Omi is too new. We know that vaccination provides a pretty robust defense against serious illness. But that doesn't really help you as an individual or predict your response.

                          Based on the Delta numbers provided by the UK, Israel, and the 12 or so states that actually tracked it. @Jolly confirmed it himself for his hospital and I have heard similar numbers from others in hospitals.

                            So, where's the argument not to get vaccinated currently sitting?

                            20% of people on Facebook think it might be a bad idea based on what they'd heard on Instagram?

                            34% of random people doing podcasts have friends who'd heard of somebody who's bollocks swelled up?

                                          Mr. Biden really wants you to hate unvaxed.

                                          I wonder, does this include unvaxed white males only or are unvaxed of color females included?
