This study is confusing:

The Cleveland Clinic on Tuesday released a study showing that 99.75% of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 between Jan. 1 and April 13 were not fully vaccinated, according to data provided to Axios.

The study also looked at 47,000 Cleveland Clinic employees who had received one shot, both shots or no shots at all.

So was it patients or employees? Was the 99.7% really the same for both?

It’s nice to see real world data confirming the effectiveness of the vaccines to prevent hospitalizations and deaths. It’s also nice to see the continued evidence that the vaccines actually prevent infection. Meaning, once vaccinated, you’re highly unlikely to get the virus, and even less likely to spread it.

So, why with such great effectiveness are there any restrictions at all once vaccinated?

Got this email today from The TN Dept of Labor. They're asking companies to drop a dime on people turning down jobs.

As a Tennessee employer, you played a critical role in the effort to help the state’s economy rebound from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. During the last year, your perseverance was instrumental in reopening the state, providing vital services, and creating jobs.

The Department of Labor and Workforce Development understands for the economy to continue improving, and to grow beyond pre-pandemic levels, you need a skilled and available workforce to help your businesses thrive.

This Department stands ready to assist you with your hiring needs. We have an entire division of workforce development professionals who can work with you to post open positions, identify possible funding for training, explore tax credit opportunities, or start an apprenticeship program. All of this assistance is offered at no cost to employers.

The Regional Director of your Local Workforce Development Area is ready to discuss with you how the Department of Labor and Workforce Development can help your business meet its hiring needs. Click here for a list of Regional Directors and their contact information.

Staff can also work with you to investigate unemployment claimants who refuse an offer of suitable work. If an investigation determines a claimant refused an offer, the Department can take steps to stop their benefits. You can click this link to submit a refusal of suitable work complaint with the Department’s Benefit Integrity Unit.

You can also call the Benefit Integrity Unit and speak with an agent to provide the necessary information to start an investigation. The toll-free number is 833-319-1255.

If you have an employee you laid off during the pandemic, but business has returned to the point where you can call them back, and they refuse to answer that call, the Department can investigate the reasons for that refusal. If the Department determines they refuse to return to work, they could be deemed ineligible to continue receiving unemployment benefits. You can click this link to submit a refusal to work compliant.

Not really that confusing. The study was on hospitalized covid patients. The 99.7% is referring to the results of that study.

They also mention that during the study they collected data on the vaccination rate of the hospital employees at the time likely because hospital employees often come in contact with hospitalized patients.

and of employees who contracted Covid, 99.7% were not vaccinated. It's two separate samples yielding similar results
