I don’t get it... and I’m definitely missing something. But I keep wondering this so I am going to ask. Why would hospital admissions go up and deaths go up if all the vulnerable people (or the greater proportion of them) are vaccinated? I thought the vaccines were all pretty reliably preventing deaths if not total protection from getting the virus. Or is it pretty certain that a variant will mean the vaccines won’t work? Or will just so many people get the virus the tiny percentage of young/healthy people that die will become significant?
Vaccination isn't instantly effective against C-19. It takes a while for antibodies to be produced.
Vulnerable people probably don't have optimum immune systems.
