Some very interesting data just out from NSW, one of the few jurisdictions around the world to keep/publish records of Covid infections/illness/death v vax/unvaxxed.

Of 61.8k cases (16/6 - 07/10):

* 63% NO vax
* 6.1% fully vax

Of 8.6k hospitalised in NSW with Covid:

* 5.7% fully vax

* 1015 ICU <-- 3% or 30 were fully vax <-- 26 of these people had significant underlying health conditions.

Of the 412 people who died with Covid in NSW during this period:

* Only 11 % or just 47 of these people had received both jabs, the average age of these deaths was 82, 29 were living in aged care homes and 18 had significant underlying health issues.

NSW's Chief Health Officer Dr Kerry Chant said the data showed UNVACCINATED individuals were MORE THAN 16 TIMES MORE LIKELY to end up in ICU or die compared to those who were fully vaccinated.

to note: Around 21.7% of infections were in people where the person had no immunisation recorded ie. vax status unknown.

^ A good gauge for other highly vax jurisdictions which don't publish vax status in Covid cases.

Re other jurisdictions not releasing this data, eg, the ACT last week recorded ICU death of a man, aged 40s w. Covid.

When asked for vax status ACT health said 'we don't release this level of detail for individuals due to privacy reasons.'

Odd to release age+gender but not vax
