Comment on Vaccinated Now Make Up Majority of Covid Deaths

Comments

Boosters or no, the conditional probability of dying is (I assume) significantly lower for vaccinated people, but if there are many more vaccinated than unvaccinated, the majority of Covid deaths will be among vaccinated.

It's sort of like saying there are more yodelers in the US than in Switzerland. That could be true even if the per capita number of yodelers is much higher in Switzerland.

On the other hand, saying that Finland has won 15 Olympic medals in the 10,000 meters compared to the USA's 3 understates Finland's achievement, given that Finland has a population of about half that of Los Angeles County.
