Covid cases, vaccination rates, masks and Omicron, particularly in the UK

The 90% unvaccinated in ICU statement has been widely bandied about, but the BMJ's fact check piece shows it to be untrue:

What doctors do say, but for some reason it gets little publicity, is that the great majority of those getting bad outcomes with Covid now are seriously obese.

I don't deny that the vaccination campaigns have had some moderating influence on health outcomes, but I do think they were grossly oversold.

The fundamental truth was that we wouldn't get over this episode until the great majority had caught the bug - something that Omicron is now wrapping up

Even the 61% of Covid Cases in ICU confirmed in this link as being unvaccinated in September is a statistically significant proportion showing the benefits of vaccination given that the unvaccinated only make up 22% of the population.
