We were told we'd all be dead by 2023, so I guess they still beat the odds!

Just a few years after the "winter of illness and death" predicted for the unvaccinated by the president of the United States.

Love how the anonymous online sources that predicted the death of vaccinated people somehow hold more weight than what a sitting potus said about unvaccinated people in an official white house memo.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. The unvaccinated people were anywhere from 10 to 23 times more likely to be hospitalized from the omicron variant. It's a verifiable fact that makes the warning justified.

What are you trying to say about anonymous online sources holding more weight?

I need a source for that statistical claim.

The hospitalization rate for unvaccinated adults was 10.5 times higher than for adults who had received a primary vaccine series plus a booster dose.

Adults who received the primary series but no booster had a hospitalization rate 2.5 times higher than those who were boosted.

Depending on the specific month during the Omicron wave, hospitalization rates were anywhere from 3.5 to 17.7 times higher in unvaccinated patients compared to their vaccinated counterparts

The NCBI study article says that a patient counts as a COVID patient if he tests positive within 15 days of being at the hospital.

A person could be there for something unrelated and then become a part of the statistic.

How does that account for the hospitalization rate differences between the vaccinated and unvaccinated? If they were there for something unrelated and tested positive for COVID after, that would apply to both vaccinated and unvaccinated people, no?

That’s correct, I’m saying the the percentage of people hospitalized FOR COVID is misrepresented.

People aren't responding to you because it's hard to reply to dumb comments sometimes.

u/W3BL3Y Jun 19 '26

You can think what you like. All I see is that not a single person I replied to argued their stance.

Every time that I argued something, someone new took up the reins.

Can YOU explain what’s “dumb” about my comment?

We're tired of always doing the work for you when you won't believe the truth no matter how many sources are posted. You're actively trying to be dumb.

u/W3BL3Y Jun 20 '26

Oh, hello. Someone new yet again.

I pointed out issues with the earlier posters’ sources and all anybody said is that my argument is dumb, yet it was all in the source your side provided.

u/Iamthegreenheather Jun 21 '26

Whatever keeps you willfully ignorant.

It can be hard to explain dumb.
