Georgia's stats site for Covid is interesting as it lets you do some of your own cuts, or even download the raw data.

While yes, the severe impact grows as you age, just as interesting is the number of cases, where the majority are under 50, which means they were "spreaders", and why vaccination will make a difference in that group.

Quoted For Truth. Thank you @Dadhawk. This is exactly the point that needs to be made. As I noted in another thread.

As to pushing vaccination in groups with high survival rates we need to remember the goal of the vaccination campaign (actually any vaccination campaign). It is to stop the spread of the virus. Ignoring a potential pool of vectors defeats that purpose. There seems to be considerable difficulty among the population when it comes to understanding that basic concept. If you want to eliminate a viral threat, you need to remove places where it can find a safe harbor. That means preventing anyone from getting it, not just those likely to die.
