They do, they just point out what you continually refuse to: Over 90% of the general population are vaccinated.Candy Arse wrote: ↑03 Feb 2022 08:42 pmNext thing you know they'll start talking about how around 75% of "covid" deaths in NSW are double and triple vaccinated.
It's only confusing if you're dumb or a deliberate peddler of misinformation.On the face of it, it seems confusing: data shows there are more vaccinated people than unvaccinated people in ICU in Victoria and New South Wales.
OhBetween November 26 and January 8, 215 double-vaccinated people were admitted to intensive care, compared with 55 unvaccinated people, according to a recent COVID-19 surveillance report.
But those 215 people make up less than 0.1 per cent of fully vaccinated COVID-19 cases recorded in that period, while the 55 make up about 1.5 per cent of unvaccinated cases.
OhThat might not sound like a big difference, but it's like a 1 in 1,000 chance of being admitted to intensive care if you're double vaccinated, versus a 15 in 1,000 chance if you're unvaccinated.
In other words, if you contract COVID-19, you're 15 times more likely to end up in ICU if you aren't vaccinated.

The craziest part about this was that this was pointed out to you:
To which you responsed:Hercy wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022 02:57 pm You have to account for the fact that 93.8% of NSW over the age of 16 is vaccinated. There's about 6.7 million people over 16, so 6.25 million are vaxxed and 0.45 million are not.
Therefore the chances of dying are:
11 Jan:
Vaxxed: 1 in 695k
Unvaxxed: 1 in 225k
12 Jan:
Vaxxed: 1 in 480k
Unvaxxed: 1 in 55k
13 Jan:
Vaxxed: 1 in 445k
Unvaxxed: 1 in 55k
14 Jan:
Vaxxed: 1 in 330k
Unvaxxed: 1 in 45k
15 Jan:
Vaxxed: 1 in 390k
Unvaxxed: 1 in 115k
16 Jan:
Vaxxed: 1 in 445k
Unvaxxed: 1 in 75k
By all means talk about low numbers of deaths and fear mongering if you want but it's just silly to say that vaccines aren't reducing deaths. The last week of NSW data shows that you're about 6 times less likely to die when vaccinated.
