BuffaloWeather Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Someone responded to that data on another forum I follow Well, there's a few things. -That 95% figure seems like it was pulled out of someone's butt. I can't find that anywhere. I have heard it's a majority and the last number I heard is 60/40, which is normal in such a highly vaccinated sample. -Speaking of highly vaccinated sample, let's address that. Israel is ridiculously young. Almost 30% of Israelis are under 15. That ~60% vaxxed figure is the whole population, including kids who mostly can't get it. The adult population is at somewhere between 85 and 90%. That sets the table for the rule of shares -- the more people vaccinated, the higher percentage of cases are breakthrough, even if the raw total doesn't change. -Israel still only has 492 hospitalizations. New York State, with a similar population, has 1,121 despite their surge starting later, as our adult population is only 69% (nice) full vaxxed. That shows you right there that vaccines are making a significant difference. -Israel hospitalizes more readily than we do. That differs across cultures. Of the 492 hospitalizations, only about 1 in 10 are intensive care. Article below about how many of their hospitalized patients are moderate cases and how the vaccines are helping to keep them moderate. Jeremy Lin, who used to play for the Knicks and now plays in China, was hospitalized yesterday in Shanghai for covid. He's absolutely fine and posting updates on social media -- just a mild fever. It's just normal to go to the hospital there. In the US, you're practically on death's door before you go because unlike in most of the developed world, it costs money here. Vaccinated Americans with moderate illness are going to say "hey, I'm vaccinated, so I'll take my chances over paying $131,000 for a hospital stay."Israel has more serious COVID cases, but patients have milder illness, doctors say 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortmax Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Guys, ALL the data is showing the vaccines are working well, even against delta. If you accept the data, then accept the facts, and be reasonable about it. Please don't buy into the small crowd of anti-Covid vaccination fear-mongering people as they are only looking for validation of their decision not to take it. Again, this is a small subset of the people that chose not to take the vaccine. Most that I know, as I posted before, are either waiting for full approval, have pre-existing immune issues, or allergies. They certainly aren't a part of that small subset of anti-vaxxers. I'm not even a pro-vaxxer as we had to specifically find a pediatrician to allow us to choose which vaccines and when to administer to our 3 kiddos. We were rejected by multiple doctors during this process. If you can't, at least, draw the reasonable conclusion that the vaccinated are more protected (forget the percentages, just more) from Covid than those not getting it, then there's really no point in further discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish the timing for approval was before I start back at school. Looking like it might coincide with JUST as school starts back up in early September. I feel like waiting for after it is approved gives me more legal rights "just in case" something were to happen as a result of the vaccine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Just got this email from work...Beginning this Wednesday, August 11, if the county you work in is in a substantial or high transmission area, colleagues should wear masks regardless of vaccination status.

My employer mandated masks in office starting last Friday, regardless of Vax status and I'd guess 90%+ are vaxxed. Restaurant rules basically.
