14% of Ontario's population is 2 million people. There are supposedly 200 unvaccinated people in hospital, a few dozen in ICU. ICU patients include people who are being treated for medical issues stemming from their illness (more likely "treatment") and may first have become sick when vaccines weren't available. Other people simply can't get the vaccine.
Also, this omicron variant is supposed to become dominant by the end of the month. Existing vaccines are highly ineffective against it (not that that's a big concern since it evidently mostly results in mild illnesses). So essentially soon you'll be considered "unvaccinated" until Pfizer can start production on their new omicron specific vaccine in March 2022. And then how long will you have to wait? HA HA
You might actually want to read that before posting it everywhere.
a) Half of deaths are fully vaccinated. (p. 21)
b) "Number of new daily hospitalizations remains very low and stable; deaths are extremely rare" (p. 51)
The fact that elderly fully vaccinated people are still dying suggests that many of the elderly who died prior to vaccines being available would likely have died anyway had they been fully vaccinated. Same goes for severely ill cases that require hospitalization. This is probably why the current numbers seem skewed and make it seem that "unvaccinated" people are more likely to be hospitalized and/or die. Truth is we don't know why people are unvaccinated, most probably because they have underlying health issues that prevent it. In the end we're only talking about a few score people out of millions.
Correct. The percentage of deaths among the unvaccinated is considerably higher than among the vaccinated.
That is the main point, since the other half of the deaths are coming from a small percentage of the population - the unvaccinated.
"Number of new daily hospitalizations remains very low and stable; deaths are extremely rare" (p. 51)
You left out "among children". That section is about pediatrics, those aged 0 to 17 years
As for the rest of your post those are just your unsupported opinions. If you have any links to back up your speculations they would add weight to your arguments.
You're just aping the twisted statistics issued by "health experts" meant to fear-monger people into getting vaccinated. Fact of the matter is vast majority of people, vaccinated or not, will not get a serious case of covid19 no matter how often the media tries to convince you otherwise by profiling rare exceptions. We've known for a long time that certain factors contribute to severity and death from covid19, so it's really not about vaxxed vs. unvaxxed, rather what underlying health issues contributed to deaths. In some cases these could have been rectified since the pandemic started (ie. vitamin D deficiency) but "health experts" chose to be silent. Moreover there are effective treatments for covid19 at this point so serious cases and deaths, esp. among unvaccinated shouldn't be an issue now, but again the "health experts" with their obsession with vaccines were reluctant to use them--how many thousands died as a result?

The numbers from November in BC dropped into my lap:
Based on data over the last 4 weeks, compared with fully vaccinated individuals and after adjusting for age differences, unvaccinated individuals are
• ≈ 8x more likely to become a case
• ≈ 32x more likely to be hospitalized
• ≈ 20x more likely to die

If I find the Ontario numbers I'll post them.
