@Mr_Hoogly: All of the treatments for COVID-19 are just as experimental as the vaccine. A doctor at my local hospital point this out. He flat out said that, if you don’t want experimental treatments, then don’t come in. And, yes, he’s completely fed up. He notes that our hospital is full, and that they are full in the entire tristate area right now. People not only can die of COVID-19 now, but of other illnesses. Oh, and none of the people in the hospital right now was vaccinated. One had a single vaccine, and they seem to be doing better than the rest. This is real, and all the arguments in the world aren’t going to make it not real. Get vaccinated. Or you will get the virus. You can even get it multiple times thanks to Delta. Hence why they told you to get vaccinated even if you’ve had COVID-19. ---

Seems herd immunity or living with the virus is not good enough we have to be pocked down and controlled no matter the numbers ---

Perhaps not. I have an immunocompromised co-worker who just got a 2nd booster (4th shot overall) at the direction of their doctor. Special case/circumstances, of course. ---
