Yeah, first realised this when it became clear that all the "breakthrough infections" (with the 0.1% rate for fully vaxed) were actually "breakthrough hospitalizations" and that the US was not actually tracking the former consistently.

For the second point I guess it depends on the jurisdiction, there was a nice chart from the CDC in an Ars article indicating how you should still expect a relatively higher rate of vaccinated people in hospital when the vaccination rate is high (and also less people in hospital overall!).

In Ontario they are quite open about most details, you get breakdowns like what you describe daily and a nice dashboard from the science table.
