Firstly this isn’t a news article in case you didn’t RTFA.
Secondly,
> It only applies to people who still haven't had a single vaccine dose, which after three years of Covid is heavily biased towards individuals with immunocompromised medical conditions.
What? There’s a lot of healthy people who haven’t taken the vaccine.
Yes, and you can have lots of healthy people and still have an incredible bias in your data that wasn't there at the start of all of this:
If we take any group of people in which a small percentage is immunocompromised, and any non-zero percent of those people get the vaccine, those people are removed from the group and you're left with a group that now has a higher percentage of immunocompromised individuals. It doesn't matter that there are still "lots of healthy people" left, your group has become biased towards immunocompromised individuals compared to baseline. Let that happen over three years, and now your group is heavily biased.
In the Florida, like in the rest of the US, a substantial number of people got the vaccine, and have been getting theirs boosters, and the percentage of immunocompromised individuals in the pool that's left has consequently gone up substantially.
You would need to present evidence that rates of non-vaccination between immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised individuals are not equal for this to be true. Anecdotally, I know a handful of "immunocompromised" individuals (RA and its relatives run rampant in my family), and all of them are vaccinated and boosted.
20% of Florida hasn't received a single dose [1]. Even if you assume that 2.7% of Florida is immunocompromised (using a figure from a Google search [2], maybe not the most accurate), and that 0% of the immunocompromised population is vaccinated (bold assumption), that's still only ~14% of this pool that's immunocompromised.
You can't make an analytic deconstruction of bias and then just stop when you get to a level that makes you comfortable.
