Coronaviruses cause a significant portion of colds, at least a quarter is what I've read. Fast mutation of corona and rhino viruses was always cited as the reason there would never be a vaccine for the common cold.

The influenza virus moved slowly enough that an existing variant could be predicted to be the major one in the next season, and a vaccine used against that.

Your logic is backwards.

Also, the news claims hospitalized patients testing positive and vaccinated are one third or more (some places in Europe, it's over three quarters) of all ICU patients. Though I can't tell which of those were in the ICU because of the virus, and which were in there for other reasons. But the way it's presented so far doesn't support any risk reduction for the Delta Variant, if we believe the media.

In America, 95-99% of people hospitalized with Covid are unvaccinated.

This is misleading due to the timeframe involved. Look at the time frames of sampling, consider the separation of fully vaccinated vs other (including status unknown), and look at the vaccination percentage over time from other data sources.

Yep, and 99% of COVID-19 hospitalizations are among the UNVACCINATED.

Your argument is trash.

99% of covid hospitalizations are among the unvaccinated not fully vaccinated (that we know of)*

* At a time when that applies to the majority of the population

70% of US adults are vaccinated. Nice try though.

Have you ever done calculus?

I understand what you're saying: that the stats are counting Covid deaths before vaccines were widely available. 2 points:

  1. Vaccines have been widely available since February, for 5 months or about 1/3 of the pandemic. Logically, vaccine recipients should make up a proportional quantity of hospitalized COVID-19 patients if they don't work.

  2. Currently, the unvaccinated account for the majority of hospitalizations, even though he populations at greatest risk are already vaccinated.

Thus, unless you're going to give me specific numbers to show that the vaccine is not working, you're just making shit up based on how you feel.

So do you have SPECIFIC NUMBERS to show the ineffectiveness of the vaccine? Or are we done?

Here's some more data. Can you wrap your head around multiple datasets? Draw conclusions?

Yep, it's overwhelmingly the unvaccinated who are being hospitalized with COVID-19

Did you read your own data? The majority of adults are vaccinated.
