And hospitalisation 1 in 4484.

By contrast your risk of death from anything at that age and gender is 1 in 1106 annually:

COVID risks are extremely concentrated to the obese, unhealthy, and elderly. It doesn't make sense to vaccinate the entirety of the population especially with a leaky vaccine.

The healthy 35yo might not have a bed for something unrelated thanks to freedom fighters with poor understanding of statistics.
