The
latest CDC figures available show more vaccinated people over the age of 30 get Covid than non-vaccinated people over the age of 30. And that's not in absolute numbers, but on a per capita basis.
COVID-19 vaccine surveillance report – week 40
12
Results
The rate of a positive COVID-19 test varies by age and vaccination status. The rate of a positive
COVID-19 test is substantially lower in vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated
individuals up to the age of 39.
In individuals aged greater than 40, the rate of a positive
COVID-19 test is higher in vaccinated individuals compared to unvaccinated. This is likely to be
due to a variety of reasons, including differences in the population of vaccinated and
unvaccinated people as well as differences in testing patterns.
The rate of hospitalisation within 28 days of a positive COVID-19 test increases with age, and is
substantially greater in unvaccinated individuals compared to vaccinated individuals.
The rate of death within 28 days or within 60 days of a positive COVID-19 test increases with
age, and again is substantially greater in unvaccinated individuals compared to fully vaccinated
individuals.
Interpretation of data
These data should be considered in the context of vaccination status of the population groups
shown in the rest of this report. The vaccination status of cases, inpatients and deaths is not the
most appropriate method to assess vaccine effectiveness and there is a high risk of
misinterpretation. Vaccine effectiveness has been formally estimated from a number of different
sources and is described earlier in this report.
In the context of very high vaccine coverage in the population, even with a highly effective
vaccine, it is expected that a large proportion of cases, hospitalisations and deaths would occur
in vaccinated individuals, simply because a larger proportion of the population are vaccinated
than unvaccinated and no vaccine is 100% effective. This is especially true because vaccination
has been prioritised in individuals who are more susceptible or more at risk of severe disease.
Individuals in risk groups may also be more at risk of hospitalisation or death due to non-
COVID-19 causes, and thus may be hospitalised or die with COVID-19 rather than because of
COVID-19.
Of course, you omitted the explanatory note RIGHT ABOVE THE GRAPH THAT YOU POSTED, so as to give a deliberate misleading stat to this board.
