>>13104956The line if thinking is that,
Even if you do not get seriously sick, you will put a burden on the fragile healthcare.
If many people get mildly sick, then the seriously sick people will not be able to get healthcare.
Add the fact that mild cases can infect others and you got a shit show in the works.
It is 99.9 percent survivable, but that requires in many cases ventilators and life-support.
I got infected myself because there were no ICU rooms nor ventilators available, and had to hand/balloon ventilate a patient for 3 hours until they could procure one. No PPE or a decent mask either.
Normally I'm not supposed to do this, but couldn't let the guy die like that.
He died later, anyways.
Add more doctors getting sick. Less personnel, even more patients and no life-support equipment.
Not to say anything about cancer patients and such who would normally be in ICU too.
Our ER actually had to stop operating, because 6/10 of our ER docs got seriously sick and 2 had to be intubated/taken to ICU.
So if we vaccinate, it's supposed to reduce the load, and ease the system.
Same with the masks, curfews etc.
Does it makes sense? Yeah sure.
Is the media/politics batshit insane about all this? Yup
