[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The vaccines seriously cut down on hospitalization.  This is true even for omicron.  DC has been trying hard to get the hold-outs to vaccinate, because it wants to be able to provide hospital care to people who don't have covid.  For example, if I get into a car accident, I would like to be able to go to an ER that is not overrun by unvaccinated people with covid.  You can even get the government to come to your house and vaccinate you!  So now you have to have some punitive measures to get people to vaccinate.  And that means making it vaguely more difficult to do fun but unnecessary stuff.  Some businesses will enforce, some won't.  I doubt there will be any government oversight of who is enforcing or not.

CDC is finally admitting that those previously recovered from Covid have stronger immunity than those just vaccinated.  Of course, they still push the recovered to vax for even better bulletproof protection for which they still have no data.  But as far as hospitalizations are concerned previously infected Covid recovered ARE indeed at no more risk to clog the healthcare than those double or triple vaxed. So... This means that DC mandates are discriminatory towards this group of people at least based on latest CDC information.

Here is the hospital conundrum.  How come that now, 2 years into this we are still stressing out about hospitals like it's spring of 2020 when we got extra facilities quickly built up and army ship sent to NYC hit the hardest? Even in the worst mortality wave NYC/NJ in spring 2020 when literally about 1000 people would drop dead DAILY we didn't get our hospitals overrun and none of these facilities were used? They were closed unused. NYC/NJ hospitals were able to handle the onslaught of very vulnerable patients never exposed to Covid when this disease ripped through the unprotected/unrestricted city where unmasked crowded the subways and public indoor places spreading it like fire.

Now, 2 years into this with high vaccination rates, with treatments on the way and heavily used we are still freaking out about hospitals being chocked up with people having a milder variant? Explain how so.. Could it be shortages of medical staff that's been fired because they refuse vaccination after Covid recovery? Let's call it what it is, this isn't caused by pandemic, but by incompetence[/quote]
