If the unvaccinated group had the same outcomes as the vaccinated, that would have been probably 3-400 fewer hospital beds (after accounting for with COVID vs. due to COVID) taken up in a relatively short period of time. Why wouldn't health authorities try to convince everyone to get vaccinated in light of that? Particularly given that probably half the population meets the threshold of having a single condition in that study above (obesity, hypertension, etc.). Not to mention, that study looks only at ICU and stepdown units, so it's not capturing regular hospitalizations.

We've gone through this before, but how many of the 1 of 250 that you referred to had a comorbidity? And the statistics quoted do not consider previous infection which is also a critical factor as we already know so far.
As a healthy person, the value of receiving the vaccine is highly debatable, now more than ever. Especially if you've been infected before. Boosters/vaccines are essentially useless at that stage.
