1.22.2022. As of this entry, about 35% of the USA adult population are unvaccinated. 63% are vaccinated. The implications, the unvaccinated:
- Pose a great risk to each other
- Pose some level of risk to the vaccinated
- Pose a risk to health care workers, other first responders, and all those they interface with
- Are the majority of Covid related hospitalizations
- The cost of hospital care for the unvaccinated is huge (one way or the other we all pay for that)
- Cause medical facilities to refuse or delay care to others
- Impact many businesses and industries, driving job loss for others
Vaccines have proved to be beyond safe.
Some causes: Bad information on social media, anti-vac (all vaccines) mentality, the political mess and mismanagement, the belief that individual freedom in the USA is a right, not a privilege (see footnote). To the list one might add Ignorance. Stupidity.
One might ask if it is a right of the unvaccinated to infect others; possibly kill others. Is that a right?
It is all beyond all reason and logic!
