Erm. What ??!
Some 12,407 people were admitted to hospital in England up to 12 September who were either confirmed or likely to have the Delta variant of Covid-19, PHE says.
Of this number, 6,230 were under the age of 50 and 6,167 were aged 50 or over.
Of the 6,230 under 50, 4,517 (73%) were unvaccinated, 848 (14%) had received one dose of vaccine and 721 (12%) had received both doses.
Of the 6,167 aged 50 or over, 1,786 (29%) were unvaccinated, 435 (7%) had received one dose of vaccine and 3,913 (63%) had received both doses
is this an error?(from bbc feed)
― Sorry, but that is how I feel (Ste), Friday, 17 September 2021 11:58 (two years ago) link
I guess in the grand picture if there is a considerably more amount of vaccinated over 50's (and I'm sure there is), this is probably an expected proportion?
― Sorry, but that is how I feel (Ste), Friday, 17 September 2021 12:08 (two years ago) link
It would be 100% if everyone was vaccinated.
The feed doesn't specify whether they were admitted because they had COVID or whether they were admitted for something else and just happened to flag up on the mandatory testing, as far as i can tell.

xpost: They're also testing everyone that goes into hospital, so are presumably picking up a lot of asymptomatic cases in people that are there for something else.
― colette, Friday, 17 September 2021 12:20 (two years ago) link
Yep, it's going to be interesting to see "people who test positive get counted in the statistics even if they're there for something else, so you can't rely on them" go from a talking point of the COVID sceptics to a defence of the efficacy of the vaccine. It would make sense to publish a separate set just consisting of people who are there because of COVID, i guess.

Glad to hear that, Neanderthal! Hope the home testing shows the same.
That exemption request idea is excellent - people need to understand the wider implications of what they are claiming.

A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel voted unanimously on Friday in favor of a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccine for people 65 and older and for individuals at high risk for severe disease, with the shot given at least six months after their initial vaccination...
Are they going to be looking at other versions of the vaccine?
I had the J&J back in April, and have heard basically nothing about boosters (which I'm fine with).. but it may be that we're cribbing all our info from Israel (who never distributed the J&J) and not doing any research on U.S. citizens, which seems really fucking lazy to me

Letter writer to the editor in today's paper cited his "educated opinion about Big Pharma" as the reason he was not vaccinated. He also said nothing would change his mind. He said his freedom to choose what he put in his body was sacred. In the same letter he complained that people assumed he was "a Republican" because he flew the flag every day of the year. BFD. He's probably a registered Libertarian.

No Karl I agree with you that a certain percentage of the people who have reasons/excuses for why they didn't get vaccinated actually have objections to it that they're not admitting to. I base this on the same principle as when polled voters say they're "undecided" but they've always voted Republican and like everything on the Republican platform and it just makes them feel some way to pretend they need to be in a courted class that's too ~^*~smart*~!* to take a side.

The report states that 71 officers died nationwide in the first six months of the year as a result of contracting the coronavirus while executing official duties. That marks a 7 percent decrease compared to 2020, when 76 officers died of COVID-related causes during the first half of the year and no vaccines were available.“However, this would still make COVID-19 related fatalities the single highest cause of law enforcement deaths occurring in the first six months of 2021,” the report released this summer states.Last year, COVID-19 killed more officers in the line of duty than any other cause. Out of the 295 officers who died in 2020, 182 were COVID-related deaths, according to data from the memorial fund.But even as the Delta variant surges around the country, some police departments are struggling to get employees vaccinated against COVID-19. While 75.7 percent of adults in the United States have had at least one dose and nearly 65 percent are fully vaccinated, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, police departments in New York and Los Angeles are reported to have substantially lower rates of vaccination.Just 51 percent of the Los Angeles Police Department had been vaccinated as of Aug. 31, according to the Associated Press. And “an estimated 47 percent” of the New York City Police Department had been fully vaccinated under NYPD-administered programs as of Aug. 24, according to Time magazine, though that does not include those who may have been vaccinated outside of work. (The NYPD does not require its employees to self-report their vaccine status.)
