NOTE: Boosters are NOT included in this analysis.

Wisconsin’s first case of Omicron was detected on December 4th, 2021 and became the dominant variant over Delta within four weeks so Omicron IS included in this analysis.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) released its side-by-side comparison of Wisconsin’s vaccinated and unvaccinated COVID-19 cases in December 2021. Even though fully vaccinated people were the majority of the population by mid-December (57.4%), they only accounted

for ONE-FOURTH of the confirmed COVID-19 cases. According to December 2021 Wisconsin data:
•People not fully vaccinated were diagnosed with COVID-19 at a rate 3X higher than people who were fully vaccinated

•People not fully vaccinated were hospitalized with COVID-19 at a rate 10X higher than people who were fully vaccinated
•People not fully vaccinated died from COVID-19 at a rate 14X higher than people who were fully vaccinated.
These rates ARE age-adjusted.

For every 100,000 fully vaccinated people in Wisconsin there were:
•1,573.2 confirmed infections
•18.5 hospitalizations
•3.6 deaths
For every 100,000 unvaccinated, or not-fully vaccinated people there were:
•4,746.4 confirmed infections
•176.4 hospitalizations
•50.8 deaths

Breaking the numbers down further, among those who were infected:
•1.18% of fully vaccinated people who were infected were hospitalized, and 0.23% died
•3.72% of unvaccinated, or not fully vaccinated, people who were infected were hospitalized, and 1.07% died

The DHS says unvaccinated 25-44 year-olds were infected at the highest rates in December, with more than 6% of their age groups testing positive last month. People ages 16-34 had the highest infection rates among the fully vaccinated population, with about 2.5% of their age

groups testing positive. Among 5-11 year-olds, who just became eligible for COVID-19 vaccines in November, the case rates were 3.0% among the unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, and 0.8% in the fully vaccinated population.

While I cannot sit and write 3000, here’s a few: Vaccines work. The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, AND death. This comes from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services and is PER 100,000, MONTH OF DECEMBER 2021 ONLY.

Sorry guys! Twitter can really mess with picture quality! I swear I saved the high res from the website but the links are in the thread to multiple sources that go over it and display it as well.
