It's interesting that the median age of the cases is so different too, but I wonder how much of that might be driven by the under-18 crowd that is more likely to be unvaxxed.
The hospitalization median age is 73 for vaccinated people, and it 1/10 the hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people. That says a lot - it's really primarily people with less robust immune systems who will get it seriously.
And then the median age of deaths is really telling. It's 1/13th of the rate for vaccinated people, but the median ages of both groups says that this is still a disease that is primarily killing vulnerable elderly people. It's a rough time to be a senior citizen.
