You mean the vaccine that ~half the population haven’t had any shots of yet?

Funny how it’s not effective when you haven’t had it.

Why is it that in other countries most of the people in the hospital have already been vaccinated?

"In other countries"..

You're gonna have to be more specific than that chief.

Which countries? Which vaccine(s) did they use? What's the efficacy of those vaccines? How many doses have the patients been given?

You know.. some actual information about the topic.

While I don't know the specifics for Australia because I am not Australian, I can say that I've seen news articles that say "unnamed Biden officials have said the Axios report is a wake up call, because the Pfizer vaccine efficacy rate against the delta virus is 42%" in a population of 35,000 individuals, many of whom are over 60.

While the vaccine may prevent the severity of the illness, it is having a hard time preventing the spread of the illness.
