That's a ridiculous narrative for covid where vaccinated people are marginally less contagious than unvaccinated people. The main benefit of the covid vaccine is reducing symptoms when you get covid and reducing hospitalisations. If you are worried about getting covid, vaccinate yourself. That's it, you don't need anyone else to be vaccinated.

> If you are worried about getting covid, vaccinate yourself. That's it, you don't need anyone else to be vaccinated. What if I'm worried about healthcare system collapse by surge of unvaccinated people, resulting in disruption of non-covid-related medical care? This disruption can even last after the epidemic ends, as the medical staff is burning out and quitting. (this is happening right now in .cz)

Privatise the health system so that it can be more flexible and provide treatments in a more elastic manner (not necessarily in big expensive hospitals).

Deregulate until things are sane if you live in the USA were the government and insurance companies propped up the prices ridiculously.

I'm sure that if you prevent non-vaccinated people not to go to public hospital, they will gladly comply.

But I don't think covid is a battle we will win with vaccines, the virus mutates fast and the effectiveness drops pretty fast. As of the latest figures I'm reading in the newspapers, 40% of people in ICU because of Covid are vaccinated, 60% are not.

Hopefully some medication will come up to cure the symptoms, like remdesivir.

From the link below we see evidence that the chance of dying from Covid-19 is multiple times bigger for the unvaccinated than for the vaccinated. I wonder what kind of "smart" person ignores this evidence and puts their life at risk at will? Hey my chance of dying from Covid is 10 times bigger because I don't get vaccinated, but I won't because I believe an even worse fate awaits me if I do. What do they think that w…

these calculations always include risk groups, without them it would make look vaccine much less appealing odds of dying from COVID for vaxxed non risk groups are pretty much same as for vaxxed non risk group, 10 times zero is still a zero nobody is denying vaccine is helping the risk groups, but there is hardly any benefit for people not at risk (healthy weight, no chronic disease)

correction: odds of dying from COVID for unvaxxed non risk groups are pretty much same as for vaxxed non risk group, 10 times zero is still a zero
