Our Emergency Rooms Are Too Worn Down to Handle Another Wave

1. This illustrates the problem with the unvaccinated

It's not about being able to refuse to be vaccinated. It's the downstream impacts of it. It's the other people you can infect, it's that you provide a vehicle for the virus to mutate, it's that you take up medical resources when you ultimately are hospitalized.

Getting vaccinated is like paying your taxes. It's for the common good. It's part of what you do to live in a free society. It's patriotic, really. It's a national security threat if we continue to have high rates of infection.

The irony is that the antivaxxers claim the vaccine infringes on their freedom. I think it's the opposite. Their refusing to get vaccinated infringes on my freedom.
