When nearly an entire population has been vaccinated, the vaccinated will naturally appear in most hospital beds — not because the vaccines have failed, but because the unvaccinated have almost run out. In Australia by early 2022, this statistical reality was obscuring a starker truth: the unvaccinated, though only a sliver of the population, were filling intensive care units at fifteen times the rate of the double-vaccinated. Understanding this distinction — between raw counts and proportional risk — is one of the quieter but more consequential acts of public reasoning a society can undertake
