The issue of denominators is a big one since when you split up age ranges we suddenly find numbers not making sense. Some areas are over 100% vaccinated, for example. The number crunching from the last census hasn't come through yet, so you're right to highlight that aspect. However overall it seems about the right number of adult refuseniks in a population of about 66 million, and obviously we are seeing these people in hospital with COVID.
