Apparently this picture I made that was part of a post 4 months ago recently went viral. Here's a new & improved version that includes the explanation in the image. Feel free to use/share it!

Thank you for the updated version! I’ve been inquiring about the creator of this so I could correctly attribute, and not knowing who made it was the reason I hadn’t shared it yet. Will do so now!

Thank you for pinning this. It’s making the rounds again and I was unaware of your initial infographic context! :)

Yeah if I had any idea that this was going to go beyond the 5 people I showed it to, I would have done things differently haha. Also, in retrospect, I should have switched the colors. And made a heading. And, yeah, hindsight lol.

Ok. Ok. So now we are supposed to look at ratios. This is just plain bananas. Honestly. We aren’t all getting vaccinated. We aren’t all vaccinating our kids. We aren’t beating a 🦠 virus 🦠 with a vaccine, We never have before. IT IS TIME TO SHIFT COURSE. Monoclonal antibodies.

Without even getting into the question of how virus cases like smallpox, polio, chicken pox, hepatitis A & B, measles, mumps, rubella, rotavirus, etc. all plummeted after their vaccines were released, how else would you look at it if not ratios?

50% of the unvaccinated population in any area is hospitalized? This is a terrible graphic and straight up falsehood. It going viral is a problem.

The bottom of the image explains that these aren't real numbers from a location, but I instead chose easy numbers that would illustrate the phenomenon known as the base rate fallacy, which is real and happens in places with high vax rates.
