"These Are The People Getting Serious Cases Of COVID-19"

   This is good to know, but a sufficiently complete picture requires that we also know about age, (too-high) BMI, and other comorbidities.
   I'm still not convinced--but, then, I have zero expertise--that healthy young people should be getting vaxxed. It still seems to me--again: zero expertise--that we'd want to be more certain about the long-term effects of the vaccine before recommending it too strongly to the young and healthy. They have the most remaining years of life to screw up. And vaccinating everyone with a fast-tracked vaccine seems like a major case of putting all our eggs in one basket. Counterpoint: we also don't know the long-term effects of COVID. (Again: non-expert.) Of course if more young, healthy people take the vaccine, it would--apparently--help quash the thing faster and minimize the spread. So that matters a lot, too. Probably more, I'd guess.
