> The unvaccinated are literally causing people to die besides themselves. There is nothing hate-filled about that.

As a soon to be triple vaccinated healthy adult I wish we could soon admit that we do this for our own good and to not be away from work.

By now it is very clear that about the only thing the current vaccine does against Omicron is lessen the consequences for the individuals who take the vaccine.

I still recommend it but it won't save anyones life except those who take the vaccine.

Lessening the consequence of a COVID infection results in lesser chance of having to need a hospital bed. Whenever you use a hospital bed during a time of 100% occupancy, you cause one person who needs a bed to not get it, which can and does (on average) result in more harm and death.
