Yes, and these medical professionals take a long time to train, hence why we care about hospital capacity.

In that case we should allow serologic tests to prove natural immunity for the workers we are firing. What we are doing is pretty insane. Natural immunity is accepted most other places in the developed world. The U.S. is an outlier.
Tell me you don't hunt without telling me you don't hunt. Typically, after killing an animal, you skin it and hang it to drain before cutting it into steaks and cooking it. Similar to what happens in a wet market.
> If you're implying mandatory vaccinations, sure.
I'm not. At-risk populations will make the right decisions for themselves. Even republicans have high vaccination rates above a certain age. To any extent that this isn't happening, more education is the way to go.
Remember: the vaccines are about preventing serious illness. Not eliminating the virus.
As for hospital capacity, it's interesting how vaccine mandates are drastically exacerbating this issue, given how many frontline health care workers, who are largely naturally immune, are being fired or walking off the job due to these mandates.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. We largely do have physical capacity. We even have the ability to spin up more than is current online. Our bottleneck is the supply of medical professionals themselves.
