I'm fairly sure that the Moderna and Pfizer shots have been, and continue to be, vaccines according to the CDC.
If that is not correct, then perhaps someone could provide a link?
By whatever name, people who have had the shots generally have better outcomes than those who haven't.
I was watching a podcast by someone the other day, forget if he was a doc or a stats guy who talked about this disparity of outcome between the vaxed/unvaxed. He pointed out a few things that point to factors other than vax status.
First off, vaccinated people, statistically speaking, tend to be higher income and therefore, in better health on average.
There is another group which the pro-vax propagandists like to ignore. This group is the unvaxed for medical reasons. They are basically too damn frail to be vaxed, so when the 'rona catches up to them, well, you know how that goes.
The bottom line here is that while the vax very well may take some of the steam out of #19, it is not as much as the overall vax/unvax numbers indicate. The fact remains that young healthy people do just fine, regardless of vax status.
