It's misleading to present the 50% number as truth, as more than likely a lot of those admissions have nothing to do with being hospitalized for *Covid*, and rather are a result of everybody regardless of cause being tested for Covid once they enter the hospital. For example, somebody may have had a broken leg or a concussion, but are still tested for the virus. They also didn't detail how many people were asymptomatic who tested positive, which would also speak to the strength of the vaccines reducing the symptoms of the virus.

Now it's still troubling and extremely disappointing that so many people are positive after being vaccinated, but imo it speaks more to the virulency of the virus than to any grand coverup. It means that even after being vaccinated people still need to practice harm reduction measures, and simply being vaccinated is not the end all for the spread of this virus.
