Why this news article title is MISLEADING

Go get vaccinated you goddamn animal
Small math mistake I made:
400/9 million is actually 0.000044 (I forgot 1 zero) but the outcome of the math is the same. The ratio between P(Hospitalized | not vaccinated) is still about twice as big as P(Hospitalized | vaccinated). P(Not Hospitalized) should therefore be adjusted to 0.999956 accordingly. Just thought I would note this before I get the math police chasing me.
