I believe the vaccines are a big part of why they're not overwhelmed now during the Omicron wave. But we achieved the bulk of our vaccination rate before mandates.

I’m struggling to understand your point, since we agree that vaccines are working to prevent hospital overflow. Is the issue the method of enforcement (show a card to eat at a restaurant)? Because I can also agree that it’s a little roundabout.

So...let everyone else get vaccinated and fix it, not me?

What is the burden that would make this a problem? If the typical narrative is to be believed the unvaccinated are in a much worse position, facing the dangers of terrible disease and death!

If there was no burden then the person would get vaccinated. I personally don’t believe there is a burden but they must.

I think they believe it’s up to everyone to decide if there is a burden (and a risk), for themselves.
