But more per capita unvaccinated were ending up in hospital and dying from covid too

Here is just one of many studies looking at the numbers

• New cases of COVID-19 among unvaccinated people are 12 times higher than in the fully vaccinated people. 
• Hospitalized cases of COVID-19 are 36 times higher among unvaccinated people than in fully vaccinated people. 

This visual helps to understand the relative risk of infections between fully vaccinated and unvaccinated people: 

Health Canada reviewed cases of COVID-19 from December 14, 2020 when the vaccination program started through to August, 2021. While there were 10,176 cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated individuals, this accounted for only 1.5% of the 689,000 cases during this time period.
