lying with statistics is a skill.

and excluding results you don’t like is par for the course.

but the study did say this

The proportion of vaccinated persons admitted to the ICU was similar to that among unvaccinated persons (505 [19.5%] vs 1961 [21.7%], respectively; P = .13), as were proportions for in-hospital death (216 [10.1%] vs 802 [9.9%], respectively; P = .89). Median length of stay in vaccinated persons was shorter (median, 4.3 days [IQR, 1.9-8.9] vs 4.6 days [IQR 2.3-9.3], respectively) (Table 1). On multivariable analysis, vaccination was not significantly associated with a reduced risk of severe disease (ie, ICU admission or death) (aRR, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.65-1.07; P = .16) (eTable 5 in the Supplement). The sensitivity analysis using the propensity score–matched cohort included 2000 vaccinated and 2000 unvaccinated patients (eTable 6 in the Supplement). Results from the analysis of this cohort were similar to the primary model; vaccination was not significantly associated with reduced risk of severe disease (aRR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.59-1.10; P = .16; full model not shown).

which shows there are not statistically meaningful differences.

besides who knows how many of the vaxxed have already died suddenly.

You wish.

The part of the study you quoted relates to people that had been admitted to the ICU.

Admittedly, once someone reaches that state the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated isn't much.

But what you're ignoring is the fact that you're 10X more likely to make it to the ICU if you're not vaccinated.

"...population-based rates of COVID-19-associated hospitalization were approximately 10.5 times higher in unvaccinated adults compared with adults vaccinated with a primary series and a booster dose during January to April 2022, when the Omicron variant was predominant."

The vaccines were effective.

If you even believe their statistics.

During a pandemic data takers are plentiful with all the nurse and doctor shortages?

Hmmm. Want to buy a bridge? /sarc
