@yaksha You realize that is only unique to israel and is the result of the fact that such a huge portion of the population that is vulnerable is vaccinated (90%+ of those over 50 years old)..
So this is perfectly normally and in no way suggests a problem. If the majority of the population is vaccinated than the majority of new cases will be vaccinated.

"Only if vaccination has nothing to do with your Chance oft getting infected"
No this is also true when the two are correlated. No vaccine is 100% so any reference to 100% effectiveness isnt relevant.
Consider a simple example, a vaccine is 99% effective and 100% of the population has it. What is the expected percentage of people with COVID you expect to have been vaccinated? The answer is 100% even though the vaccine is 99% effective.
Over 90% of the population in israel is vaccinated for the portion of the population susceptible to hospitalization (those 50 years and older). They are one of the most vaccinated countries.
Yes having 90% of the population who are likely to have a severe reaction to the point of seeing a doctor is going to **severely** skew the results...
Jesus christ people stop spewing your own made of fairy tales if you dont even understand the official explanation first (then you can try to poke holes in it ones you understand it, which you clearly dont).
@yaksha
No also not correct. in a 99% effective vaccine the 1% who get the virus are **not** the ones who are most likely to have also gotten the virus and is now reinfected.. in fact the opposite is true, they are less likely to be in the 1% as the previous infection combined with the vaccine will make it less likely.
@yaksha
You have to keep in mind the numbers arent likely saying what you think they are.
If 99 out of 100 unvacinated people get infected, but 10 out of 100 vaccinated people get infected, then clearly the vaccination reduces infection.
However even if the above numbers are true if an overwhelming majority of people are vaccinated then you will see **more** people in the hospital with covid that are vaccinated than unvaccinated.
@yaksha
If 90% of the susceptible population is vaccinated.
The vaccines are about 72% effective overall and 86% effective against severe infection.
Threfore out of 1000 people, assuming everyone is being exposed to the virus, then you'd expect 252 people who were vaccinated to contract covid and only 100 vaccinated people.
In other words with the real world numbers, even with the vaccines being significantly effective, we would see 2.5x **more** people showing up in hospitals that are vaccinated with covid than unvaccinated.
Come on now this isnt complicated stuff!
@yaksha
Well I just did the actual math for you (albeit slightly simplified). I literally showed why you'd **expect** it in the case of israel.
@yaksha
The vaccine isnt "useless if they still get sick" because it isnt an all or nothing thing. The vaccine significantly reduces their chances of getting sick, not 100%, but significant enough to be far from useless.
@yaksha
Nope... I wonder if you can spot why thats bad data? Would you even listen if i explained it to you... probably not... Hint: That chart isnt normalized and thus you cant use it to make inferences. You would have to compare infection rates according to a fixed sample size of each country in order to get remotely accurate data.
@yaksha
I mean, your not exactly smart enough to assess peoples grade level, so not really gonna care.
@yaksha
And I showed the math on israel as to why it is not just normal but expected given their vaccination rate.
Since im sure your a smart person I presume you did the same math on the UK numbers. What did you get?
@yaksha
@freemo Irrelevant. You claimed this was unique to Israel. It isn’t. Don’t speak authoritatively when you’re ignorant of basic facts.
@deprecated It is unique to israel, the UK has different numbers that arent as severe as the numbers in israel.
The same math works out there too.
How many covid vaccines were given in that period and how many other vaccines were given in that same period? Hint, you see more in VARES because we are administering COVID vaccines are rates much higher than other vaccines at the moment. We are after all trying to inoculate an entire planet as fast as we can.
@freemo @DK_Dharmaraj You’re being intentionally dishonest and generally acting like a jew. You mischaracterize what people say and try to move the goalposts when your errors are pointed out. No doubt you do well in midwit academia but what you’re trying to pull is transparent here.
LAAAWWWLLLL you literally described pretty much everyone in this chat **except** me.. I know the projection was going to happen eventually. Thanks for that, lol.
@freemo @DK_Dharmaraj Again. The jew cries out as he strikes you.
We managed to do it with small pox and eradicated the virus. Though im pretty sure people are a fair bit dumber these days.
Likewise our ability to produce and distribute the vaccine has grown perportionally as well.. what are **you** talking about.
@freemo @hydramacready @DK_Dharmaraj Too dumb to see the implications of letting free global travel happen while trying to control the spread of a disease, yep, you sound like a midwit academic alright.
>If the majority of the population is vaccinated than the majority of new cases will be vaccinated.
Only if vaccination has nothing to do with your Chance oft getting infected. If you assume it was 100% effective no cases of vaccinated being effected should exist.
About 10% of Israelis have had the corona Virus while 50%+ have been vaccinated. If 1% of new cases are ones with previous infections and 40% with vaccination that should tell you quite a lot about how effective vaccines are...
