Ontario data shows that vaccines are very effective at preventing C19 as well as serious outcomes if infected. However, most of the benefit comes from vax'ing older age groups. 1/5

Hospitalizations are dramatically lower in C19 cases in vaccinated (breakthrough) vs. unvaccinated. (data expressed as cases per 100,000). But, in younger age groups the actual impact is less than for older.
2/5

Consolidating age groups shows clearly that vaccinations, have less impact on outcomes in younger ages. 3/5

Similarly, for preventing death, vaccinations are effective but have little impact in lower age groups.
4/5

So, return to normal life does not depend on high levels of vaccination in the young. The energy and money committed to pushing vaccines on anyone under 60, could be used more effectively elsewhere.
