You must be shocked and angry that your graph is more truthful than your words. LOL! Showing a graph that has no UNVACCINATED category to prove your "indisputable fact" has exposed your idiocy for all to see.
As far as MOH is concerned, there is no difference between the unvaccinated or non fully vaccinated. You are a farking moron to count hairs between unvaxxed and non fully vaxxed. Bottomline is: Vaccines work in prevening deaths and serious outcomes from Covid. Get over that fact.

Pa. officials: 94% of covid cases were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people

The “vast majority” of covid-19 related cases, hospitalizations and deaths in Pennsylvania since January have been among unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated individuals, according to Department of Health data released Tuesday
So-called “breakthrough” covid-19 infections — those that occur 14 days after an individual has received either two doses of Moderna or Pfizer covid-19 vaccines or one dose of the single-shot Johnson & Johnson option — happen, but they are rare and typically result in milder illness, Acting Secretary of Health Alison Beam said.
From Jan. 1 through Sept. 7, there have been 639,729 positive covid-19 cases in the commonwealth, Beam said during a news conference at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital. Of them, 35,389 (5.5%) have been in fully vaccinated individuals.
“That means that 94% of cases during this time period were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people,” Beam said, explaining that unvaccinated individuals are seven times more likely to contract the virus than those who are fully vaccinated.
Fully vaccinated individuals accounted for 1,820 hospitalizations statewide during the same timeframe. The total number of hospitalizations during that period was 34,468 — meaning that 95% of people hospitalized with the virus weren’t fully vaccinated, Beam said.
Statewide, there have been 6,472 covid-related deaths from Jan. 1 through Sept. 7 in people who contracted the disease in the 2021 calendar year, according to Beam.
Of those deaths, 213 individuals were fully vaccinated, meaning that 97% of deaths were among unvaccinated people. Unvaccinated individuals are eight times more likely to die of the virus, Beam said.
She said the health department will now try to routinely disclose covid-19 breakthrough data.
“The data that we have is showing once again that even as the more transmissible delta variant becomes more widespread, the covid vaccines are safe, are effective and help protect against serious illness and death,” Beam said.
The data Beam shared accounts for 80% of hospital beds in the state, she said. The Department of Health will share the
data on its website and update it “as frequently as we can,” she said, suggesting they hope to update the data monthly.
“My hope is that this data encourages everyone who has not yet been vaccinated to speak to their doctor about getting the vaccine as soon as possible,” she said.
Areas with lower vaccination rates — like Lancaster, where the county has fewer than half of its residents inoculated — are seeing “increasing hospitalizations” compared to places where vaccine uptake has been more widespread, said Dr. Michael Ripchinski, chief clinical officer for Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health.
The average age among patients hospitalized with the virus in his hospital system is younger among unvaccinated individuals, Ripchinski said as he appeared with Beam to discuss breakthrough infections in the commonwealth.
The average age for unvaccinated individuals who require hospitalization is 56. Among vaccinated individuals, the average age of a hospitalized patient is 71, he said.
People who contract the virus after being fully vaccinated, he said, tend to have milder symptoms and are less likely to require hospitalization. Even if they are hospitalized, they’re less likely to need ICU treatment or ventilators, Ripchinski said, adding that many vaccinated individuals who are hospitalized have mild symptoms or are admitted for reasons “other than covid-19.”
Breakthrough cases, he said, “are expected.”
The vaccine, Beam explained, aims to prevent hospitalization and death. No vaccine is 100% effective, and breakthrough cases shouldn’t be seen as an indication the vaccines are failing.
“The term ‘breakthrough’ can be misleading, because the vaccine is continuing to do its job even against more recent variants like the delta variant,” she said.
Ripchinski hailed the vaccine as “the most valuable tool in our effort to stop the pandemic.”
“Vaccines provide us with a way out of this,” he said. “Vaccines enable us to return to normal.”
Beam said the vaccine — along with other mitigation measures like social distancing and masking, which she recently
mandated in schools — will keep students stay in school and bolster economic recovery.
In Pennsylvania, more than 12 million doses of the vaccine have been administered to date, Beam said.
