> If 79% of people are vaccinated, then if hypothetically 79% of the hospitalized people were vaccinated, it would mean the vaccine had absolutely 0% effectiveness.

Incorrect. The vaccinations are targeted at the most vulnerable not distributed uniformly so this is not exactly right.

Just to be clear, I agree with your point that there is a difference in vaccinated vs. unvaccinated population (e.g. average age).

But when you say "targeted" at the most vulnerable, I'm not sure how true that is. There's a pretty big push to get everyone vaccinated, including populations that have been reluctant to get vaccinated until now.
