Hoping to urge undecided Americans to get vaccinated, the Democrats and President Joe Biden have touted data showing the number of hospitalizations due to COVID-19. With surges on the rise, President Biden has even mandated that employers with over 100 employees have their employees vaccinated. But although they claim COVID-19 is still a threat, a new study is finding that a number of those who were hospitalized over COVID-19 were either asymptomatic, experienced mild symptoms, or tested positive while admitted to the hospital.

Directly contradicting the Democrat’s efforts, the Atlantic reported on the story, saying, “The study found that from March 2020 through early January 2021—before vaccination was widespread, and before the Delta variant had arrived—the proportion of patients with mild or asymptomatic disease was 36 percent. From mid-January through the end of June 2021, however, that number rose to 48 percent. In other words, the study suggests that roughly half of all the hospitalized patients showing up on COVID-data dashboards in 2021 may have been admitted for another reason entirely, or had only a mild presentation of disease.”

The study was conducted by examining over 50,000 COVID hospital admissions over more than 100 VA hospitals. While the study still needs to be peer-reviewed, it should be noted there are some limitations when viewing the data. For starters, the study doesn’t include many women and there are no children. Another practice by VA hospitals that isn’t normal is how they test every patient admitted for COVID-19. Lastly, most of the data presented for the study was finished before the spike from the Delta variant. 

Discussing the data with the Atlantic, Daniel Griffin, a disease specialist at Columbia University, finds the research to actually help the vaccine. “People ask me, ‘Why am I getting vaccinated if I just end up in the hospital anyway?’ But I say, ‘You’ll end up leaving the hospital.'”

It wasn’t just Griffin either as Graham Snyder of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center also agreed. He said, “It’s underreported how well the vaccine makes your life better, how much less sick you are likely to be, and less sick even if hospitalized. That’s the gem in this study.”
