Ironically that comes up with wildly inaccurate estimates itself.

> we take the average population totals over the relevant periods for each population (March 1, 2020-Aug. 9, 2021 for the unvaccinated population and Dec. 15, 2020,-Aug. 9, 2021, for the vaccinated population). The adjusted population of vaccinated people comes to 83 million and 295 million for the [un]vaccinated population

330 million Americans, less 83 million vaccinated Americans equals 247 million unvaccinated people, not 295 million.

They are also deliberately ignoring CDC estimates.

> CDC epidemiologists estimate that the actual number of hospitalizations may be 1.8 times higher than the reported number.
