As of Tuesday, a total of 809 people were in hospital. Of these, 75 were seriously ill and required oxygen, and nine were in intensive care. The majority of seriously ill patients were older than 66
Of the 114 patients requiring oxygen, 56 were fully vaccinated and 58 unvaxxed

Given the very high proportion of vaccinated people that, again demonstrates that the risks are far higher in the unvaccinated population than vaccinated, but, in the latter group , the risks are not negligible.
Similarly ICU cases were split 5 in the unvaxxed , 3 vaxxed

The 4 dead were unvaxxed.
So the more serious the case the more adverse outcomes are borne substantially by the unvaxxed.
Remember Singapore’s population is about 5.7 mill of which just over 4 million are non resident, many living in dormitory accommodation.

About 500k still unvaxxed.
Even that is enough to put its reopening plans on hold, with several outbreaks occurring in nursing homes ( leading to the start of the over 60s booster programme on Tuesday).

H/t @k8tshires for reminding me that Singapore has EXCLUDED those vaccinated with Sinovac from their vaccination tally given poor efficacy. At the start of the programme there had been a rush of Sinovac vaccinations until Singapore switched solely to Pfizer and Moderna
Still. The vaccination programme is bearing fruit given the systematic testing and contact tracing carried out.
Now just 2% of cases are resulting in more severe outcomes, with about 98% of cases being asymptomatic or relatively mild symptoms.
But Covid is proving to be wiley
