No doubt healthy Australians take comfort from the fact that between 92 and 95 % of the population are double vaccinated.
However, people who suddenly develop life threatening illnesses requiring immediate hospitalisation but who cannot receive it because the wards are filled with non vaccinated covid patients from the remaining 5 to 8%, most surely would not take a benign view of the current situation.
I read on the weekend of the dilemma facing a surgeon who had to move an extremely ill cancer patient from an icu ward to make way for a non vaccinated covid patient.
In the real world small percentages can mean the difference between life and death.
