You are more likely to be infected with COVID if you are Vaccinated. The rate of hospitalization, while still modestly higher in unvaccinated individuals when controlled for demographic, has accelerated drastically in vaccinated people. While you are still significantly more likely to end up in the ICU if unvaccinated, the rate of ICU admission increase for vaccinated has almost doubled the rate of unvaccinated admissions. Lastly, COVID-related ICU and hospital admissions are moving in lockstep with the increased positive testing rate. Could a significant portion of the hospital rate increase be due to rises in incidental testing? Yes, some variables could be at play here (i.e. vaccinated out and about more, unvaccinated having natural immunity etc.). But those are assumptions, and while relevant, they aren't measurable facts. These are important data points to note as places like Quebec are now fining unvaccinated citizens and our Prime Minister refers to over 4 million Canadians as racist and misogynistic. It isn't OK to treat fellow citizens like this under any circumstance, let alone when the data is murky at best and public health officials worldwide are being caught in brazen lies.
