When they're comparing vaxxed to unvaxed, they're counting all the way back to December 14 when the shots were first rolled out.
The problem is they're counting all the cases during the giant winter wave when most of the population wasn't eligible to be vaccinated. The vaccination rollout was super slow and it didn't really take off until March/April when flu season started coming to an end. The majority of these unvaccinated case/hospitalization/death numbers are counted during the two months when the vaccination rate was only 1%. I compared the graphs so you can see how misleading it is.

I got the Health Canada stats from here
To show how insane this is, on December 14, 6733 people were counted toward the total for "unvaccinated cases" even though only 5 people in the country had the vaccine at that point.
Just thought you all should know so that when you're confronted with these statistics, you can explain why it doesn't necessarily mean that 89% of cases/hospitalizations right now are unvaccinated.
True. It's misleading to expand the timeline that far to a point were only a few people were vaccinated. It skews the whole statistic.
It would be better to look at the last 30 days. Hard to find data on it. I know for example that of the 10,000 people which are currently hospitalized in Florida over 96% were unvaccinated.

Alberta provides similar numbers:

There are currently 77 people in non-ICU units with Covid 19 which are unvaccinated vs 14 who got a first dose and 15 who with two doses of the vaccine. And all 28 patients in the ICU due to Covid 19 are unvaccinated.
The "96% of the hospitalized patient are unvaccinated" didn't come from the CDC, so I don't know what they have anything to do with it. It came from a group representing the hospitals in Florida.
And while the CDC made an error in reporting the Covid cases, the over 10,000 people which are currently hospitalized with Covid 19 is correct. This number is coming from the Florida Health Department. Even DeSantis acknowledged the rise of patients with Covid 19.

You can prove me wrong and post the number of people who are hospitalized with Covid in Florida, vaccinated and unvaccinated.
But we know that you won't do that ...
