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.
That's interesting historical information. Here are some numbers from today..
On August 12 2021 Ontario started reporting (https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data) on the vaccination status of people as they tested positive and are currently hospitalized. All the numbers aren't in yet but in the hospitals that did report there were 61 cases hospitalized but not in ICUs. Of those 61 cases 44 (72%) were unvaccinated, 7 (11.5%) were partially vaccinated, and 10 (16.4%) were fully vaccinated.
Of the 51 cases reported to be in the ICUs 44 (86.3%) were unvaccinated, 5 (9.8%) were partially vaccinated, and 2 (3.9%) were fully vaccinated.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out, because most residents have had one or two jabs, so only a small proportion of the population is supplying those big percentages.
