A pandemic of the unvaccinated overwhelming our healthcare system? A thread.

Let’s look at the data of the UK Health Security Agency. You can find it under this link: 1/

I would like to focus on the ICU data, because that’s what matters for „overwhelming the healthcare system“. The report includes this table 👇2/

I have rearranged the data, because what matters in the end is absolute numbers of persons on the ICU. Not rates or ratios. It looks like this: 3/

Overall cases presenting to ICU vaccinated (black) vs unvaccinated (white) looks like this: 4/

For full disclosure, absolute numbers of COVID deaths depending on vaccination status are presented here: 5/

Now ask yourselves: Could forcing the remaining unvaccinated people save ICU from getting overwhelmed? Is it really a pandemic of the unvaccinated? /The end.

Addendum: Here is the chart for number of cases for the sake of completeness.
