Can someone point to the actual number of hospitalizations anywhere in the story?
2nd paragraph
Sorry Chuck, there were some coding issues with this story. They should be resolved now.
If you want to see the numbers for yourself, directly from the Indiana State Department of Health web page, here is the link: https://www.coronavirus.in.gov/
How many people were fully vaccinated that were hospitalized?
If everyone was vaccinated, 100% of the hospitalized would be vaccinated.
It’s also pretty certain that the number of hospitalized would be far smaller.
