Vaccines appear slightly less effective at preventing hospitalization this summer

The COVID-19 vaccines' ability to keep people out of the hospital appears to be dropping slightly, particularly for those 75 and older, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Monday during an advisory panel.

The CDC has previously estimated that 97% of people in the hospital being treated for COVID-19 are unvaccinated, but that data was collected before the spread of delta, a hyper-transmissible variant that many doctors have warned appears to be making people sicker.

The latest CDC analysis estimates that the ability of the COVID vaccines to keep a person out of the hospital is now between 75% to 95%.

So....the CDC has now dropped the effectiveness of keeping folks out of hospitals to as low as 75%. That's a bit more than a "slight" drop.

It appears they went with stats way too early to even state that 97% of those in hospitals were unvaxxed and now we are seeing that they are blaming the data for not being in.

Typical knee jerk actions again.

So.....all those that said antivaxxers account for 98%+ in the hospital for covid can begin eating their Crow.

This number will only get lower and lower as their data keeps getting updated.

CDC data

Well it's roughly 99% here in the 12 hospitals I work for. But that data is a bit aged by now as well (roughly a month). Not sure where we are right now but I've not heard of a surge of vaxxed being in.

I haven't checked in the last few days, but I would bet my house it has gotten even lower in the last few days.

Darn where is does the CDC gets their data? I know they have deals with Israel to supply their findings, but seems they are always behind on news.

Always after the facts.
