el gato this might be worth drawing some attention to (at the risk of making them totally erase the data)

Lovely page with data for Ontario, Canada: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data

Data updates paused on Dec 24 until Dec 28 for Christmas. Data updates resumed today, Dec 29.

I would like to draw your attention to the very interesting first graph, showing cases per 100,000 split out by unvaxed, partially vaxed, fully vaxed. It shows steep increases in all three categories (since Nov 25, 2021), but steepest of all in fully vaxed category. In fact, on Dec 24, fully vaxed cases per 100,000 exceeds unvaxed cases per 100,000 for first time (in this dataset).

Then the pause hits (Christmas Eve). Then the updates resume (today). Every data set on this page is updated except this one. Wonder why? Fortunately, they give you a link to the raw data, found here:

https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/covid-19-vaccine-data-in-ontario/resource/eed63cf2-83dd-4598-b337-b288c0a89a16

Will it surprise you to learn that the data (7 day moving average, cases per 100,000) looks like this:

Date Unvaxed Partial Fully Vaxed

2021-12-24 31.93 29.43 32.39

2021-12-25 36.44 34.74 39.79

2021-12-26 39.42 38.77 45.93

2021-12-27 42.66 43.35 51.95

2021-12-28 45.65 47.72 57.67

2021-12-29 49.9 52.43 63.92

I don't know how to paste the graphs, but I'm sure you do. Please, please, please do.

Thanks! Love your work.

Do you know definition of fully vaxxed? Does it mean 2x or 2x plus boostered?

Fully vaxxed is 2 weeks past the second dose. From the link with the raw data (no mention of boosters):

"Effective September 13, 2021, individuals are considered fully vaccinated if they have had two doses and the second dose was at least fourteen days ago. Individuals are considered partially vaccinated if they have had one dose at least fourteen days ago, or two doses where the second dose was less than fourteen days ago. Individuals are considered unvaccinated if they have not had a dose, or if their first dose was less than fourteen days ago."
