Not anti-vax, what I don't like is the MSM/Pharma/etc., playing games with numbers, like statistics about vax vs unvac that goes back to January 01. Let's look at numbers that cover a recent time period. Yes, it is recognized, old people, waning vax, lots of reasons.
Here are some numbers not intentionally skewed to look better.
Breakthrough infections rise in Minnesota, but unvaccinated at greatest COVID-19 risk
Hospitals are full and imploring unvaccinated people to seek shots because they suffer more severe COVID-19 cases requiring intensive care.

Minnesota hospital leaders urge unvaccinated adults and newly eligible children to get the COVID-19 vaccine and adults to seek boosters as recommended.
Breakthrough infections are an increasing part of a prolonged COVID-19 pandemic wave in Minnesota, according to new data released Friday, but people who are unvaccinated still face the biggest risk and take up more hospital beds.
Detailed breakthrough data showed that fully vaccinated Minnesotans made up 197 of the 483 deaths from Sept. 5-Oct. 9 and 1,082 of the 3,492 COVID-19 hospitalizations. While 41% of the COVID-19 deaths in that time frame were among the vaccinated, that is an increase from 29% over the previous four months.
The trend underscores the waning immunity in Minnesotans who received COVID-19 vaccine six or more months ago — with the majority of breakthrough deaths being in the elderly and people with underlying health conditions who were prioritized for the first doses of vaccine.
"It's fair to say we are kind of in a perfect storm moment," said Kris Ehresmann, state infectious disease director. "We have delta as the dominant strain, so that certainly has changed the landscape since we first identified it in Minnesota in June. Then you do have the impact of waning immunity."
