What though when a hospital ICU is full of unvaccinated COVID cases, and I believe the current percentages are still well over 95% of ICU COVID cases being unvaccinated or recently single vaccinated? (Is there is some irony in protestors getting wind of a close contact positive, then getting vaccinated at the last moment, but all too late?) The price might include some tax payer who did the right thing, got vaccinated, wore a mask, social distanced, didn't break the rules, may still perish because can't get an ambulance, or they are stuck on a trolley in the corridor having a stroke, anaphylaxis or heart attack while the unvaccinated are ventilated day after day, week after week, all at that dying tax payer's expense!
Isn't the preservation of rights symmetrical, do we only care for the protestor?
In the mainstream news and social media, it feels like the squeaky wheel is getting all the attention and setting the path for the rest of us!
