    God I haven’t missed this dumb argument in the last 2 years.

    Did you consider that it was mandated so that idiots would get it and avoid clogging up hospitals unnecessarily?

        it absolutely occurred. fuck, where I was, the hospitals were already having yellow alerts (where they are full and cannot take new patients, so they have to be redirected), due to understaffing.

        Then they had to deal with covid. Yeah, the vaccine worked amazingly well. So did lockdowns and travel restrictions. 2.5 million people, zero covid deaths in 2021.

        You don’t need “data” to form a logical conclusion from data you already have.

        • vaccines reduce hospitalisations
        • mandates increase vaccinations

        Therefore, mandates reduce the burden on hospitals.
