According to the CDC's most recent data unvaccinated individuals are 11 times more likely to require hospitalization. This is after the Delta variant*. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#covidnet-hospitali....
Also see this data from Minnesota which is very recent. https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/stats/vb...
Anecdotal articles I read reinforce this. The worst I've heard is that 30%-40% of patients in various hospitals are vaccinated. Which sounds bad, except these numbers are in places where 80%-90% of the adult population is vaccinated, so 10% is taking up two-thirds of hospital space. Additionally, most of the people who are hospitalized and vaccinated are older individuals, and they still typically spend less time and recover better than unvaccinated younger individuals.
* There was a recent article, "Hospitalizations Rising Among Fully Vaccinated in US, Fauci says", which speculates that this data is outdated. But it publishes no statistics to back up this claim. Frankly this is kind of misleading: of course vaccine efficacy wanes, the question is whether it's enough to make a significant impact. Even then, you can bring back efficacy with a booster. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/hospitalizations-...
Next up: increased likelihood of hospitalization of other choices that aren't choices for a minority of those groups that everyone wants to demonize, like the obese.
IMO if obesity took so much of the hospitals' resources that they had to defer cancer operations, then the obese would get a considerable stigma.
There is a separate resource that tracks hospital bed use by covid status. Right now indicates 1074 out of 7327 beds are occupied by covid patients. The Minnesota breakdown of hospitalization cases is vax 216 / unvax 493. The sum is not 1074, but we can adjust using the ratio. We end up with 764 beds used by covid unvaccinated individuals out of 7327 total, for a 10% of the total hospital capacity.
I cannot find resources with precise data on what the other 90% of the beds are used for (other than 5% are unused), but from an late Aug article: "Minnesota’s hospitals report they are at 92% capacity, including patients with COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), traumatic injuries and other medical complications." One further context point: there are 5,900,000 people living in Minnesota.
