The statistics could be explained in a better way, there are differences between before a majority got vaccinations and after.

Australia was heavy on lockdowns before, particularly Victoria, we did not allow the virus to spread freely, but around 10% of cases were getting hospitalised then, now that figure is around 1% of active cases for the whole of Australia, it was less the last few days, but percentage has increased a bit due hundreds of thousands recovering, but the chances of hospitalisation has dropped down overall significantly against past and present cases.

But now without lockdowns and a more contagious variant, the virus is running and spreading like crazy in the Eastern states, and that is what is pushing those hospitalisation numbers and deaths up.

Also I want to say

There's a anti-vax argument running around about "more vaxxed ending up in hospital than the unvaxxed," this needs to be cleared up though.

What needs to be made more clear is the statistics of how many people are unvaccinated that have or had covid, how many people are vaccinated that had or have Covid and what are the chances of an unvaccinated Covid case, being hospitalised, ending up in ICU or even dying compared to the vaccinated, and I think you will find that the chances are much lower for the double vaccinated and lower for the booster.

Just an example

In a village of 100 people, 90 are vaccinated, 10 are not, if 2 vaccinated people get hospitalised and 1 unvaccinated person get hospitalised, the chance of an unvaccinated person being hospitalised is much higher, it's comparing a 1 in 10 chance for the unvaccinated Vs a 1 in 45 chance for the vaccinated.

And that is what this anti-vax argument is not taking into account and the info that the media should be putting out more clearly.

Let’s cut to the chase, anti-vaccers are just plain stupid.
