The majority of ER visits are not true emergencies, including Covid sufferers, so I am told. If that is true, it would suggest a more efficient ER intake system is necessary instead of using hospital capacity issues as a justification to compel people to get a vaccine for a virus of moderate risk to public health.
Many, possibly most, true emergency visits to the ER involve some sort of decision by the victim accept risk related to their health issue, such as smoking, speeding, not wearing a seat belt, substance abuse, poor diet, lack of exercise, etc. Therefore, it is unfair to attribute hospital utilization rates solely on Covid sufferers.
The bigger picture involves weighing the potential short term benefits of vaccines and the short and especially, long term downsides to vaccines. Long term vaccine downsides include a large population group with weakened immune systems versus other virus types, including emerging viruses than may be truly dangerous, and undefined risks related to MRNA vaccines. For all the testing that have been done on pharmaceuticals and other products intended for healthcare, subsequently FDA approved, there are numerous examples of long term adverse outcomes leading to class action lawsuits and product withdrawals from the marketplace. Our healthcare industry, their regulators, and our politicians often do not know what is best for us, especially considering the spectrum of individual circumstances or even the big picture, especially on a longer term time horizon.
Covid’s hazards are not serious enough for authorities and or businesses to mandate, compel, social engineer, fine, or force frequent testing on the general public. People, including parents, should be allowed to make unencumbered vaccination decisions for themselves and their children. Speaking of children and their naturally robust immunes systems, are they not the best candidates for natural immunity? Exposing children to vaccine risks for a virus that is unlikely to cause them harm is malpractice, at best, in my opinion.
