- maxerickson 5y agoWhat "stats" are you looking at? For instance, 2nd paragraph of this article about Omicron talks about vaccination being protective: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/31/world/europe/omicron-hospitalization-uk-report.html https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/31/world/europe/omicron-hosp... If South Africa ended up fairing far better than a country with similar demographics and higher vaccination rates, it would be relevant, but there's not data to make that comparison, because other countries are much earlier in the Omicron wave.
- ameister14 5y ago>And what about South-Africa with a vaccination rate of 26%? Just pointing out that JAMA says SA has a vaccination rate of 44.3% as of Dec 2021; if you're gonna attack statistics it's a good idea to have the right numbers.
