I 100% agree that we should have done and should still do more to prepare for this and future pandemics.

But I still wonder how you're not getting this. The vaccine greatly reduces your chances of getting sick, and getting stuck in a hospital, but it doesn't completely eliminate it. If everyone between 18-50 refused to get vaccinated, we would still see a surge in hospitalizations. Do you not understand the word "protected"?

Do you think that the utility of a young person getting vaccinated is zero? Or do you think it's just too small to be worth the inconvenience? I don't know why the conversation turns into "why do I have to do this" - can't we focus instead on why you aren't willing to help your community?

And again, has literally nobody addressed this in the last 18 months that you've read? I'm sure my tone is more hostile than I intend, but I'm really confused at this point.

Where I live we have more cases today (twice more) with 82% of people double-vaccinated then we did last year with 0% vaccinated.

Are you suggesting then that vaccines are totally ineffective?

Ineffective at preventing spread yes. Effective at preventing death yes.
