It would seem that if the vaccine weren't effective this number would be somewhere around 50% give or take. And if the vaccine actually harmed people it would be lower than that.

Actually, if the vaccine weren't effective, it would be that hospitalizations/deaths are 70% from vaccinated people and 30% from unvaccinated (since that's the approximate percentage of vaxxed/non-vaxxed). The fact that 93% of the cases (we'll go with your lower number) are coming from the 30% who are unvaxxed shows how effective the vaccine is.

Most of the deaths are between 35 and 45.
(Old people don’t count because anything could take them out because they are old.)
I’m sure the processed foods, booze, Big Mac’s and diet Coke’s have nothing to do with that age demographic. Other than that, they were otherwise healthy.

So sad. He thought he was protected, wouldn't develope severe symptoms, let alone die.

Is a thread really required for every expected outlier case?

No, you can post what you want and I will gladly point out the absurdity of it ok? Deal

In other news, a person died from something else today somewhere.

One of the reasons people don't want to be put on a ventilator is because it leaves the patient susceptible to other infections. It's possible that was a contributing factor.

There's a reason for the phrase, 'do what you can to prevent the vent...'

Having a career breathing airplane air couldn't have helped his respiratory system either. Airplane is the worst, dryer than a desert and/or you can smell everyone's colonge, trip to the lavatory etc. Plus the proximity to others. Forget covid he was already in danger.
