Just think what the hospital numbers would be right now with no vaccine!! I'm not particularly for or against the VPs more because I think they are ineffective in the current set up rather than an objection to having to provide the information.

The photo you shared is missing out a paragraph that is under the graph which seems to disagree with the 85%. 'Age-standardised mortality rates for COVID-19 deaths shown in Table 17 are lower for people who have received two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine compared to individuals that are unvaccinated or have received one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. This is comparable with data published by the Office for National Statistics which showed the risk of death involving COVID-19 was consistently lower for people who had received two vaccinations compared to one or no vaccination, as shown by the weekly agestandardised mortality rates for deaths involving COVID-19'. I dont really understand it to be honest. The table seems to say otherwise but pretty positive i am not reading the age standarised mortality rate column correctly.

Dennis Denuto Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Is this thread now re-running the vaccine or no vaccine argument? It is clear as day that the vaccines have reduced deaths and hospital admissions by 70-80%, we would be in all kinds of trouble right now if it weren't for the vaccine. As it is it would still be better with lower transmission numbers, it's not easy to get that down without restrictions returning - so get the bloody vaccine.
