You do you but that isn’t actually correct.
That makes sense. I think it's clear that vaccination makes the infection less severe and reduces hospitalization rates. But there's also a hope, which is the basis for a lot of policy decisions, that vaccination will reduce the chance of being infected, perhaps even eliminate the illness, and Iceland's data doesn't support that.

Only for isolation and for cumulative cases, not for current cases.
> You need to take into account the COVID is less infectious for the young.
Source please. I haven't heard that before; though it is less severe for the young.
