Cumulative numbers for the entire length of the pandemic:

  Hospitalizations for 0-9: 199
  Hospitalizations for 10-19: 85
  Hospitalizations for 80+: 2142

Breakthrough hospitalizations:

  60-69: 47
  70-79: 73
  80+: 107

I’m not sure what you’re seeing in this data. Perhaps if you pick and choose age groups you can make it look like more young people end up in hospitals than old vaccinated people. But you’d have be really selective.

20-29 is twenty something, already they need more beds than the 80%+ of 80+ year olds that vaccinated and those 20 somethings aren't the ones who know they had a medical problem unless they were seven orders of stupid and still didn't vaccinate.

Looking at the older working age groups we have more than 50% vaccinated in most and something like 100X less chance the vaccinated go to hospital. So if you hate restrictions then get vaccinated so we don't have to come up with creative ways to protect a hospital bed from you.

*Those numbers are not since the pandemic began but since the vaccination began. The oldest age group and people with health issues were vaccinated first so comparisons should be biased against the vaccinated, but it is too effective to see that bias.

You do know it is possible for people to be vaccinated and still be against vaccination mandates?

Anyway as you insist on calling people stupid and just want to force your opinion on others I’m through discussing you.

To be clear I'm saying the only way I know to make:

> hospitals are filling up with the vulnerable population

From the Swiss numbers is to really assume the worst in people.
