Oh wow, a massive correction to what was a profoundly alarming and wrong statistic

Presumably this doesn't mean 40% of COVID hospital patients are double vaccinated either? It means 40% have had one *or* two jabs (or perhaps their status is unclear).
That is a whopping big mistake to make, and it has gone viral on social media.

It's also true that as the double vaccinated percentage of the population grows, the double vaccinated percentage of COVID patients grows too - because the small percentage not protected from serious illness ends up outweighing the non-vaccinated proportion of the population.
Taking that to its logical end, if 100% of people were double vaccinated - that's a strict hypothetical because we'll never reach that figure - then 100% of COVID patients obviously would be double vaccinated
