Proof of benefit of vaccine booster for protection from Covid hospitalization in young, age 18-49, as previously documented in other countries
covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tra…
77% reduction with 2-shots
94% reduction with booster
All ages, 18+
2-shot reduction of hospitalization 76%
3-shot reduction of hospitalization 93%
2-shot reduction of hospitalization 76%
3-shot reduction of hospitalization 93%
Remarkable consistency across age groups for reduction of hospitalization for 2-shot and booster vaccination vs unvaccinated
2-shot 3-shot
Age 18-49 77% 94%
Age 50-64 79% 92%
Age 65+ 74% 94%
2-shot 3-shot
Age 18-49 77% 94%
Age 50-64 79% 92%
Age 65+ 74% 94%
The never ending bias of reporting that people age 18-49 lack benefit of booster shots vs Covid hospitalization: the relative benefit the same in all age groups; absolute benefit per 100,000 people is substantial

That the protective benefit would be proportionately the same in young people as old was fully anticipated (and previously documented in other countries). Here's the fallacious reasoning explained
