In addition, being vaccinated dramatically reduces the severity of disease if you happen to get infected. EVERY single patient in my ICU at a large academic center the past few months were all unvaccinated! And most of these patients are extremely sick on full ventilatory and sometimes ECMO support. Do you think that’s just a coincidence? I’ve lost all empathy for these unvaccinated covid patients as they are a huge unnecessary burden to our health care resources.
If you hate wearing a mask, wait until you end up on a ventilator.

Have you lost all empathy for non-compliant diabetics? Or morbidly obese people who won’t exercise or diet? Not sure why Covid is any different than those.
