I made a short video; no, I did NOT have “risk factor”/”age group” breakdown, but the overall point is that vaccines, while outstanding, are NOT a suit of perfect armor.
Upshot: I used this local data:
The vaccination rate of the area is slightly under 50 percent; about 80 percent for the 65 and up group. But this data doesn’t break it down among age groups so..again, this is “back of the envelope”:
or about 77 percent efficacy with respect to hospitalization, and or 93.75 percent with respect to ending up in the ICU.
Again, the efficacy is probably better than that because of the lack of risk factor correction.
Note: the p-value for the statistical test of vaccines have no effect on hospitalization” vs. “effect” is
