EU scientists reveal long-term brain damage caused...
I think we might be getting our negatives confused. A perfectly successful rollout sees 100% of people vaccinated, so 100% of admissions are vaccinated, so 0% of admissions are non-vaccinated.

So basically you're saying that wherever hospital admissions are 95% unvaccinated people the vaccine rollout hasn't worked.

No, it’s working but vaccination has not been completed. And, depending on the location, it doesn’t look like it’s going to complete.

Ok, so what you’re saying is vaccine rollout is working if it’s 0% or 100%.
So what’s the failure mode? 50% I guess?

Can’t something just be in process before claiming it’s a success or failure?

From "A => B" does
not
follow "(not A) => (not B)"
edit: swapped A and B by mistake, see comment below

Haha, you're right! I mistyped. The left side should have been "(not A) => (not B)"
