My goodness. When Tucker Carlson slimed his way into your brain last summer, he welded your memory neurons firmly into place, didn't he?
You've repeatedly cited these figures, so they're clearly firmly lodged in your head, even though you know perfectly fucking well that it's anti-vax BS.
First, the figures were for British HOSPITALISATIONS, not patients in ICUs.
Second, over half of the 40% of people who were HOSPITALISED with Covid after being vaccinated had only received one dose. A significant portion of those who had received double doses had received their second vaccination within a few days of them being admitted.
If you were seriously interested in understanding what's really going on currently with regard to vaccinations and cases of Covid that are serious enough to require extreme intervention much closer to home than the UK, you could find this out from credible sources. But I'm sure you're well-shielded from facts by your Carlson Brain Armor™.
Honestly, your counter argument here (which I agree with) is a bit mathematically flimsy. You need to reference Bayes Thereom of statistical inference which is what the Ph.D. researchers are expected to use in academic reviews. Basically, Bayes says the prior probability of being admitted to the hospital given that you have Covid symptoms and are fully vaccinated are likely different from the prior probability of already being in the hospital with Covid symptoms. The missing piece here is non-vaccinated people who have already gotten Covid and recovered without medical assistance.
Your argument does make this inference; and certainly Bayes Theorem is beyond WeirdGuy's horizon of comprehension. The formula is P(A|B) = P(B|A) * P(A) / P(B)
IIN That I got covid-19, despite being fully vaccinated?
