What? They are all hospitalized and we must assume the primary reason is COVID as it is not stated in the article. If 70% of the sick people are vaxxed, that is almost 3 times more than the unvaccinated. The study was on a group of only 8 people in the hospital which is a BS sample. 6 were vaccinated, 1 was unvaccinated and 1 was unknown. 6 is more than 1.

Say you have 80 vaccinated people and 20 unvaccinated people with the rona, and 50 people in the hospital. If 70% of those in the hospital are vaccinated, it means there are 35 vaccinated and 15 unvaccinated in the hospital. That's a hospitalization rate of 35 / 80 = 43.75% for vaccinated people and 15 / 25 = 60% for unvaccinated.
New Zealand has approx 5,000,000 people and 93% or 4,650,000 vaxxed and 350,000 unvaxxed. 75% of those 8 in the hospital are vaccinated, it means there are 6 vaccinated, 1 unknown and 1 unvaxxed. That is a hospitalization rate of 6/4,650,000 =1.29e-6% for vaccinated people and 1/350,000 =2.85e-6% for unvaxxed. While the percentage is higher is it really an incentive to get an experimental vaccine to guard against a hospitalization rate of .00000285%?

The hospitalization rate isn't the hospitalized divided by the population, it's the hospitalized divided by the number infected with covid.
