Re: UK cases

There isn't really a breakdown for those UK number as yet (it takes awhile) but what I can say is that in the first 14 day period after freedom day:

55.1% of the 1,467 hospitalisation were unvaccinated;
34.9% had been double vaccinated; and
the balance (10%) had a single dose.

The USA CDC has reported only 0.01% of breakthrough cases require hospitalisation or result in death but that's at odds with both the UK and Israeli data. It's also at odds with the Florida data which suggests that ~3% of vaccinated infections require hospitalisation and ~1% die.

However, whatever the real numbers are there is no doubt that unvaccinated people are something like ~25x more likely to be hospitalised and 35x more likely to die than fully vaccinated ones.
