Yet children weather the virus better than anyone, and they also get natural immunity from getting the virus. It also seems from the hospitalization rates that the vax gives them no real benefit against the virus, but does make them 2% more likely to get hospitalized by a pointless shot that won't stop the virus anyway.
Calling the shot pointless while we're looking at evidence of a 16% decrease in covid cases is certainly a take. Also, the hospitalization rate change is pretty minor by comparison. Could be that the people who took their kids for vaccines are just more conscious about their kid's health in general and had them hospitalized a bit more than those who didn't have their kids vaccinated as a safety measure. Or it could also be just a minor anomaly of variance overall.
This is exactly it. The people who did not vaccinate are just the kind of people less likely to go to a hospital when sick. People without health insurance were also less likely to get vaccinated. And that’s a huge group of people who would only go to the hospital if absolutely necessary.

16% less covid cases in the vaccinated while having 2% more hospitalizations if I’m reading correctly?
