Fully vaxxed surpass unvaxxed in hospital in Australia

and a fact check - half true apparently

Seems they are saying that it leaves out data around boosters. "fully vaxxed" typically means first two shots and then now with boosters introduced implys your booster is up to date to remain "fully vaxxed" Either way, its hard to tell what effect it would have had.
Also something to consider is that since a great deal of the population is vaxxed, it can only be expected that the number of vaxxed patents will rise too.

You'd think C T would fact check first rather than face the embarrassment of us rubbing his nose in it.

So you are telling us we should fact check everything the media tells us then? Makes sense!
I guess this works both ways, for and against?

It does. One way to do that is to develop a preference for sources that can be relied upon to have done the fact checking before publishing.
Even then, it is easy to get lazy and cherry pick the information that says what we want it to say, rather than the version that is actually the truth.

Especially in these days when algorithms are deciding what we want on our behalf, based on our histories. We forget we do not read with our eyes, but with our minds. And sometimes we need a crowbar to get that beast to stay open...
