This is a very good video and an excellent explainer for a complex subject. There's one point you didn't make that I think should be expanded on, and that's the distinction between infected and seriously ill. Within those red boxes, there are a number of cases where the infected individual requires hospitalization or even worse, dies. On the vaccinated side that number is tiny. Even taking the base rate into account, we'll never get to a percent vaccinated number where the the vaccinated+seriously ill count is anywhere close to the count of unvaccinated + seriously ill. Because really that's what matters. We wouldn't have gone through all this if COVID-19 was just a minor cold.
This was so helpful, I became a paid subscriber just to let you know. Thank you
Good video.
