Important typo in the first version of the General post (oops!): UNvaccinated people take one extra sick day per year on average, not vaccinated people.

My bad!

@ducky

I'm surprised it's only one day of difference.

@Kathmandu Well, this was on *average*. Not everybody who was unvaccinated caught COVID-19 during the study period, and about 40% of actual infections are asymptomatic (== so mild that the person doesn't even notice). That means that for unvaccinated people *who caught COVID-19*, they used significantly more than one sick day.
