FWIW, you're both right.

You can't know if you're the average person, so you're right to read the study and think "getting COVID that's bad enough to hospitalize me is bad, not only for the hospitalization, but now I'm aware there are elevated risks even afterwards!" That's useful information that can help you make good future choices.

That being said. If you get COVID and are hospitalized, which group in that study you fall into will be due to all your personal health factors, not the study.
