Because the vaccines reduced the impact of COVID.

Why do we need the Army? I personally know of several cases of armed personnel causing fights and getting in trouble, but my country has never been invaded in a war!

Why do we need the Police? I've been fined by Police often, but I've never been robbed!

Etc...

COVID made me realise just how bad the average person's critical thinking skills really are.

Exponential growth vs linear responses especially something even otherwise intelligent people are just unable to wrap their heads around. In 2023 I still had a friend -- a mathematician -- arguing that increasing hospital bed capacity two-fold would have "solved" COVID without vaccines, disregarding that exponential curves can overwhelm any such measure.

Out of about a hundred people, one, a coworker.

That's a 1% death rate.
