Here is my own personal perspective:
My surgeon is hoping to avoid it, but I have an issue that may require an “elective surgery “. Because of the surge on Covid cases, elective surgeries are being delayed indefinitely.
People who argue that “all we care about is death” dont appreciate the massive strain the unvaccinated are placing on the healthcare system. And yes, the vaccinated are also contracting Covid, but the overwhelming majority of patients who are being hospitalized are unvaccinated. And once they are hospitalized with a highly contagious disease, it effects the mechanics of the entire hospital. I’ve heard talk that some healthcare systems were even planning on designating certain hospitals as Covid centers, so that the rest of the system could continue to function, but the winter surge has put paid that idea.
So, fimor this who argue that vaccination is an issue of personal freedom, I’d respond that the others arent meant to bear the cost of your freedom.
