I agree.

Nope, with a vaccination it'll be finally comparable to a bad flu (like all those deniers said in the beginning). Portugal has 98% vaccination and has now dropped most of its restrictions.

As someone who's vaccinated I do wish the governments would drop all the restrictions and let all the refusers deal with their own mess, but luckily for us governments have a duty of care* for all of society, including the beligerent members, and overfull hospitals disadvantage the vaccinated too.

* Although some politicians in power seem to be sacrificing the lives and health of their citizens to sabotage their "enemies", e.g. in Florida and Texas.

For the sake of making clarity, after almost two years of mess: in Portugal over 88% of the population is vaccinated (2% of which only partially), which is 98% of the eligible.
