Yep. Vaccination isn't to prevent you getting it, it's to prevent you dying from it, so your body can deal with the infection if/when it happens. Personally, without going into detail, I completely believe my vaccination status helped me when I got covid based on my history. I'm with PJ, was barely sick.

Long story short; roughly 40% of the people dying in hospital here are unvaccinated. That means 60% are vaccinated. 40/60 (50/50 in intensive care).

Except.... 95% of the Australian population age 16+ are fully vaccinated (2+ shots). That's just shy of 20,000,000 people. This means that 5% of the population represents massively more of the deaths than they should.

If approx 20 million 16+ are vaccinated, that means that approx 1 million 16+ are not. Australia has had 218 deaths this week from Covid. Using 40/60 basis, 88 of them were unvaccinated, 130 of them were.

That means
0.0000065% of the vaccinated population died this week.
0.000088% of the unvaccinated population died this week, or 13.5x the death rate in the past 7 days.
