are there any easily accessible stats on covid cases in vaccinated vs non-vaccinated people

· · Web · 2 · 0 · 2

the latest spike is alarming but i want to know how much danger i, personally, am in

@Paravellex it doesn’t seem like there specifically are on the CDC’s covid data tracker website: covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-track

however, I did find a page from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control that seems to have what you’re looking for: scdhec.gov/news-releases/dhec-

@Paravellex bear in mind that this doesn’t count the asymptomatic vaccinated who carried and didn’t get tested (or anyone who refused to share their vaccine status or anyone symptomatic who didn’t get tested), but it seems that even with Delta, vaccinated people don’t get hospitalized.

Upsilon? that may be a different story, but right now we’re worried about Delta

@Paravellex tldr is that they're planning on updating communications to say that it decreases infections by around 3x and severe illness by around 10x
the data for the delta variant shows that vaccination doesn't decrease transmissibility much

@leo @Paravellex so if Delta’s a far more transmissible variant than the original disease (which it is), and vaccination doesn’t cut that down any, the only options are…

- push the country back into lockdown and force shots into people’s arms if they want to do anything (never going to happen)
- basically force the vaccinated to carry the load indefinitely as the currently-unvaccinated continue to refuse to get vaccinated and we’re stuck with this and future mutations (this is inevitable)

@leo @Paravellex arguably, you do eventually want to reach a point where the majority of cases and hospitalizations ARE of the vaccinated, because then that would mean that *everyone is fucking vaccinated*—and “a majority of hospitalizations” would be like. three out of five in a state
