[QUOTE="dmac1, post: 4994320, member: 60252"] The rule of large numbers applies when you reach the tens of thousands of infected per day being admitted. Because with large numbers, the BMI, etc is going to be about the same among both vaccinated and unvaccinated. If it was only the unhealthy getting admitted with covid,it would be about 50/50 vaccinated or not. But the numbers skew so greatly in favor of the unvaccinated being admitted, that BMI, etc are almost irrelevant as to who will get sick enough to be admitted. Unless you stupidly beleive that only healthy people have been vaccinated, and then you claim that it is because all the vaccinated are super healthy that it is 99% unvaccinated being admitted to hospitals. The greatest risk of being hospitalized with covid is NOT being healthy or not- it is simply whether you are vaccinated or not. If you take two healthy people, the unvaccinated one is nearly 100 times more likely to be hospitalized, and nearly 1000 times as likely to die as the vaccinated. And even an unhealthy vaccinated person has less chance of dying or being hospitalized than a healthy unvaccinated person. Clearly you don't understand the science of statistics and probabilities. The larger the sample size, the easier it is to assess cause and effect Which means you haven't done science. [/QUOTE]
