Please don't quote this report again unless you know how to read statistics. You can only compare the related statistics, that is compare directly <50s or >50s rates, if you combine them or use the totals you get skewed data.

So in table 5;

>50s

Vaxxed 2 doses and 2 weeks = 21,472 cases, 389 (1.8%) died, 1735 (8%) were admitted to hospital for emergency treatment.

UnVaxxed = 3440 cases, 205 (6%) died, 965 (29%) were admitted to hospital for emergency treatment.

<50s

Vaxxed 2 doses and 2 weeks = 25,536 cases, 13 (0.055%) Deaths, 224 (0.088%) were admitted to hospital for emergency treatment.

UnVaxxed = 147,612 cases, 48 (0.039%) deaths, 3733 (2.6%) were admitted to hospital for emergency treatment.

It's quite clear that you are 3 x more likely to die or have serious symptoms from Covid if you are unvaccinated >50 than vaccinated.

In the under <50s the death rate is similar, although statistically lacks numbers to be difinitive as the only 13 deaths could have been 49 years old etc, you'd need 10 times the deaths in each section to get a better idea.

The hospitalisation rate follows the same trend of being about 3 x the un-vaccinated rate, so the vaccination gives you about 70% protection if you contract the virus. However, this does not include those that have complete immunity or got such mild cases they did not bother to get tested so you could easily increase that number 10-20%.

I added inlcusive and excluded hospitalisations together as I find the reasoning behind that division a little shaky, but it is like for like data so can be compared as i'm not differentiating that between vaxxed or not.
Well you should then learn to calculate better.

It's true that over 50 has an increased risk of death of 333% if you are unvaccinated, which we all know since they are in a higher risk group, but for the majority of us below 50, it's 0.0325. 0.0509 is 156% higher... 70% of the world population is below 50 approximately so why should we take the vax? Besides of course the bed occupations...
