Sharing additional data regarding COVID risks for vaccinated individuals. This data comes from Los Angeles and was published Aug. 14.
Highlights:
- Case rate for vaccinated people is 66/100,000 (.07%)
- Case rate for unvaccinated people is 4x higher than vaccinated individuals
- Hospitalization rate for vaccinated people is less than 1/100,000 (.001%)
- Hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is 14x higher than vaccinated individuals
Implications from this data:
- Vaccines appear to be highly effective at reducing the negative impacts of COVID
- Vaccinated individuals do not seem to be a risk (from vaccinated or unvaccinated individuals)
- Conversely, unvaccinated people are at risk, but this risk is known and 'baked in' to their decision to remain unvaccinated
- Unvaccinated individuals pose a risk only to themselves and other unvaccinated individuals, but again these risks are known and are accepted by this population
- Governmental or corporate attempts to mandate actions by vaccinated or unvaccinated populations seems unwise - vaccinated people are not at risk, and unvaccinated people accept the risks that come with their decisions to remain unvaccinated
