if only this was true. If it was, I’d be totally fine with people not getting vaccinated.So, the unvaccinated only are putting themselves at risk.
I work at a hospital and the unvaccinated VASTLY outnumbered the vaccinated taking up beds. Like by over 70%. And for ICU/ventilator needs, over 95%.
We have had to turn away ambulances several times. Another hospital turned away over 700 patients within a couple month timeframe due to being full. This means people with heart attacks, strokes, car accidents, kidney stone surgery, you name it. This affects absolutely EVERYONE.
Now maybe, just maybe, after this omicron surge, we will be done with Covid overflowing the healthcare system. We may actually luck out here. But if that turns out not to be the case and the healthcare system gets overrun again after Omicron, the vaccines are absolutely essential in helping this situation. Boosters help even more. Yes, even you or a loved one can easily be affected by not having access to needed healthcare.
