Every day the vaccine rolls out

That is clearly nonsense


Figures for Scotland

I always find the 'freedom' argument curious. We aren't autonomous individuals living on our own islands. If we were then yes do what you want. We live in communities and our actions have impact on others. Not to be vaccinated during a pandemic is a choice and if that means you have some restrictions in community spaces then that is the consequence of your choice.

It’s clearly not nonsense. The figures you are showing there (and have been irresponsibly bandied about through the pandemic) are for people in hospital for any reason who happen to test positive for covid. This just muddies the waters so you can’t see how many of these hospitalisations are caused by covid and are serious.

If you want some more solid data, go to the chart below the one you posted and flick the switch to ‘deaths’ - then observe the absolute lack of deaths below age 40. This gives you an indirect idea of how many of those hospitalisations were life threatening (presumably due to covid).

“ Not to be vaccinated during a pandemic is a choice and if that means you have some restrictions in community spaces then that is the consequence of your choice”

The problem with medical apartheid (apart from that it offers minimal actual benefit) is that once societies go in a direction like this - once a precedent is set - it can quickly start to get out of hand.

Already we are seeing restriction of movement between countries, barring of access from medical treatment, barring access from events.

What next? Vax-only seats on buses and in bars? Vax only toilets? We have seen this before and it is not a good idea whatever you think the justification is.

And if you think this is nonsense observe the growing undertone of people branding non-vaccinated people as an underclass, a burden on society and unwashed undesirables.

Willingly Giving up equality and freedom to reduce hospitalisations is a very bad idea IMO
