60% of COVID-19 hospitalizations in the UK are among the fully vaccinated

Update: Sir Patrick Vallance corrects his statement

But, think about this for just one moment. Even with the correction this means that 40% of those hospitalized in the UK are fully vaccinated. Why isn’t anyone concerned about this fact? I thought these vaccines were over 95% effective? Apparently not!

Correcting a statistic I gave at the press conference today, 19 July. About 60% of hospitalisations from covid are not from double vaccinated people, rather 60% of hospitalisations from covid are currently from unvaccinated people.

Original post below:

Listen to this asshole. He actually says that fully vaccinated people going into the hospital is proof of vaccine effectiveness!

What’s the point? You now have a better chance of not needing hospitalization if you’re not vaccinated? Something else has to be going on here. Are the vaccines actually making things worse?

Sixty percent of people being admitted to hospital with COVID-19 have had two doses of a coronavirus vaccine, according to the government’s chief scientific adviser.
Speaking at a Downing Street news briefing, Sir Patrick Vallance said: “In terms of the number of people in hospital who’ve been double-vaccinated, we know it’s around 60% of the people being admitted to hospital with COVID.
