A comment on Covid-19: stigmatising the unvaccinated is not justified. Parent comment
In UK, for age group >60yo, with similarly high vaccination rates, the percent of vaccinated hospitalizations for this age group is 82.5%.
These numbers inhabit different realities. I cannot think of any reasonable explanation. Some attempts:
* King County is failing to vaccinate the highest risk subpopulation within this age group.
* King County is hospitalizing comparatively vast numbers of unvaccinated elder covid patients.
* King County, UK, or both, is having serious data collection and/or reporting problems.
* UK is using a different vaccine

Edit. Peeking at the Singapore dashboards, they are much closer to the King County picture than the UK picture.
