It seems some data are needed before reaching clear conclusions: the number of people in each vaccine status week after week. (We're having this debate in France over and over, but unfortunately, such data as those which were provided thanks to FOIA in Nova Scotia, or which used to be spontaneously provided in Island, Scotland or Ontario, do not exist in France. Not reliable ones, at least.)

Agree. Had the same thought before reading your insightful comment. Seems to me, the Y axis should be "the percentage of actual cases" for each of the lines, and that the "Y axis" result then compared to the vaccination percentages for the general population. (If the two numbers then match, then we have no correlation.

This is the reason I find figures like these frustrating, because I *know* that if and when I forward this kind of information to a vaccine enthusiast, the first response I'll get will be, "Of course there are more vaxed people in the hospital, because there are more vaxed people in the population!"

Which is not an innumerate objection.

it is of utmost value to remember that the uninjected versus injected numbers are very valuable. we know that ~80% of people in N.S. are injected with 2 shots.

But not with 3 shots? If that's the case, it does appear that the third shot is likely to land you in the hospital.
