Re:Covid-19: stigmatising the unvaccinated is not justified by makomk on Sunday November 21, 2021 @12:03PM (#29297781)
That doesn't change the fact that shaming and bullying younger people into getting vaccinated cannot possibly stop hospitals getting overwhelmed with Covid patients, and that in countries with reasonably high vaccine uptake amongst the elderly (which is fairly common - they've been much more willing to get vaccinated in most places because they're at higher risk) blaming the unvaccinated for hospitals being full has more to do with politics than actual on-the-ground reality. Sure, on an individual level getting vaccinated reduces your personal risk, but in terms of society-wide risks many places have reached a point of substantial diminishing returns precisely because age and health are the most significant factors.
