Honest question, but don't we still lack the denominator of the ratio:

  (people that have covid and end up in the hospital) / (those who have covid)

?

Instead, we're looking at the ratio:

  (vaccinated people who have covid and go to the hospital) / (unvaccinated people who have covid and go to the hospital)

But, those are different types of information.

yes, exactly. I am getitng tired of people citing CDC facts that don't answer (quantitatively) which of any of actions are actually useful.

Note that many people who end up the hospital either didn't know they were infected, or got infected there. And probably many of the people with COVID who go to the hospital don't actually need hospital levels of treatment. We have a tendency to overtreat with technology.
