This to my mind is a misrepresentation of the data. The numbers are unadjusted firstly, that aside a positive test prevents an NHS staff member from working as they have to isolate. It is not the same as whether they are fit to work.
If you were to take fit to work being in or out of hospital your hypothesis falls apart. Which is why I suspect you only showed your crop to try to substantiate your argument about vaccination.

I would argue that if you test positive for coronavirus you are not fit to work as an frontline NHS staff member surely?
I fully understand the data is unadjusted but its the same across multiple countries and the numbers increase proportionately in relation to last vaccination date. Trending data is hard to repute.
Lets assume the bulk of NHS frontline staff are in the 18 to 49 range and the current issue is down to staff absence does the data attached suggest the best path was taken?
