CDC has now released data from 13 jurisdictions showing the difference in cases, hospitalizations and deaths for people who are fully vaccinated (14 days after the second jab) with the delta variant. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
It leaves me scratching my head, wondering...

I've combined the table header with the data so that it is easier to read.
For these 13 jurisdictions (some are full states, some are large metro areas like NYC), below is the data from June 20 - July 17th.

I don't see anywhere the percentage of people fully vaccinated vs. not vacc.
85% of cases are in unvaccinated, age 18-49 -
in these states, at this time.
But... what if 85% of people in that area & age group weren't vaccinated?
The vacc. and unvacc. would have the same risk.

OTOH, if more than half of people 18 - 49 are vaccinated in these regions, then comparing 85% of cases in unvaccinated vs vaccinated shifts towards an even bigger impact of the vaccine.
w/o knowing the percentage of people vaccinated, these percentages are meaningless

Again - maybe I'm missing something.
I can't imagine that all those CDC statisticians would manipulate the data to prove a point.
