Upside Down ?

I just read an article in Lifesite about the Covid vaccinated/unvaccinated situation in hospitals in Canada. Note that I did specify that the following data was concerning hospitalizations, not cases, in Canada. Remember, that one of the biggest reasons for encouraging the Covid vaccine was that it would make one less sick with Covid and thus less likely to end up in the hospital. 

Now perhaps the reason for the following data and it’s apparent upside down-ness quandary is “the denominator factor,” but I will get to this later.

To cut to the chase, in Canadian ICUs there is approximately an equal number of vaccinated and unvaccinated Covid patients.

According to the data in Ontario, as of January 7,  there are 1,327 “Fully vaccinated cases” in hospitals, compared with just 441 “Unvaccinated cases.” For “Partially vaccinated cases,” there are 100 people in the hospital. Of those in ICU in Ontario, there are 119 “Unvaccinated cases,” 17 “Partially vaccinated cases” and 106 “Fully vaccinated cases.”

When it comes to those who test positive for COVID, Ontario’s data shows that the vast majority come from “fully vaccinated” people.

On January 7, the province reported 9,515 cases in “fully vaccinated” people, compared to 1,543 cases in the vaccine-free. There were 375 cases in those who were “partially vaccinated.”

Well, maybe Ontario is just weird!!

However, data from Alberta and Quebec also shows that the majority of  people in hospitals due to COVID are “fully vaccinated” as well.

In fact in all provinces in Canada, the majority of new COVID “cases” are in those who are fully jabbed.

Is there any reasonable explanation for this Canadian upside-down cake? Actually, to me, there are only two possible expiations.

First, Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA technology used by the vaccines, has said that it is the vaccinated, not the unvaccinated, who are the “super-spreaders” of the disease. This is what is perhaps suggested by the above noted hospitalization data.

The second explanation has to do with “the denominator factor.” (Note that this is a term I made up, but that probably describes reality.) In other words, in Ontario, for instance, for the sake of discussion, let’s assume that the vast majority of the populace is vaccinated … of each 100 residents 90 are vaccinated and 10 are not. If the ICU hospitalization stats are close to 50/50, that could mean that for every 5 ICU hospitalized vaccinated patients, there are 5 ICU hospitalized unvaccinated patients … but here is where “the denominator” comes in.

5 vaccinated patients in the ICU/90 vaccinated individuals in Ontario. This amounts to a 5.5% risk.

Whereas 5 unvaccinated patients in the ICU/10 unvaccinated individuals in Ontario. This amounts to a 50% risk!

So while the overall number of hospitalized patients in ICUs in Ontario may be close to 50-50 (vaccinated-unvaccinated), the risk of ICU hospitalization remains considerably higher for unvaccinated individuals.

Nonetheless, merely being vaccinated does not preclude one from being sick enough to require an ICU bed … at least north of the border.
