In reply to the discussion: Lying by Omission about Break-Thru Covid-19 Infections? [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(105,450 posts)All your figures above are about "if everyone would have got infected without any vaccination" or similar.
" hospialization rates for vaccinated people are actually much higher, around 4%" - that's hospitalization compared with those who are unvaccinated and have caught Covid.
"out of 100 fully vaxxed people, 20 or will have breakthrough infections, 12 of those 20 will be symptomatic, and 4 of those 20 will end up having to be hospitalised to some level" - that's incorrect. What those statistics actually are are "compared with an unvaccinated population in which 100 people are infected, the same size of vaccinated population will have 20 breakthrough infections ... etc.".
The report you are trying to criticise is not saying "all unvaccinated people have been infected with covid". Therefore, the statistics you are quoting are not the equivalent. You seem to be demanding that only the statistics you want to know should be made public. Axios and NBC aren't reporting "misleading statistics", and they run up to the end of July, so they're not outdated (and they never made a claim about how long a period they are for). It's just that you are misinterpreting them.
