No.

Again, sticking with Ontario, CA, since that is the source of our median age of hospitalization/death data.
At the start of wave three (March 1 2021), only frontline health care workers and residents/staff of long-term and elder-care facilities were eligible for the vaccine.
All people over 60 became eligible in March. All people over 50 weren't eligible until early April.
Other people over 18 weren't even eligible to book a vaccine appointment until May 3, and that was only in 114 designated "hot-spot" communities.
So it's not until about 40% of the way through the first wave that any non-health-care-workers under 50 are able to book a vax appointment ... which doesn't even account for when they actually receive it, nor when they receive the second dose.
To reiterate the most important point from my previous post:
https://www.publichealthontario.ca/-/media/Documents/nCoV/ep...
* During the third wave in Ontario, initial vaccine rollout was focused on old fucks and people working with old fucks
...and during this initial rollout, people under 50 who didn't work with old fucks didn't even have access to the vaccine.
The median age of hospitalization/death dipping in the third wave was not caused by young people dying from the vaccine.
...because young people didn't even have initial access to the vaccine until halfway through the third wave
...because the vaccine uptake rate among older people during the third wave was extraordinarily higher than among young people
...because Page 7 in the link you posted (and repeated above) shows no increase in Case Fatality Rate among young people in waves three and four
...because Page 7 in the link you posted (and repeated above) does show a massive decrease in case fatality rate among older people in those waves.
All of the above only makes sense if the median age of hospitalization/death decrease is caused by the vaccine being focused on older people and reducing death and hospitalization among them.
"Everyone was getting the jab during that time period. I got two doses."
...is meaningless.
1) You are one person. Anecdata is meaningless.
2) It's flat-out wrong. Not even close to everyone got the vaccine during the third wave. And younger people weren't even eligible until halfway through the wave.
"It was a massive push to vaccinate people."
Yes it was. And it was rolled out in the way outlined above.
Your theory that the median age drop was due to young people dying is directly contradicted by the way the vaccine was rolled out.
Cheers and Happy Sunday. Time change is dumb. | |
