The Protesters are useful idiots that the Elites are using to stay in power.

If everyone was vaccinated, Hospitals would no longer have to deal with surges in ICU's. No ICU surges means fewer deaths and no lockdowns. No more lockdowns, means everyone is allowed to open up.

It's comically sad and hilarious this needs to be pointed out. Get vaccinated to end the pandemic, not the other way around.

Nah, Israel is the world's most vaxxed country and deaths are surging again, their ICUs are just as full as they were in the last surge a few months ago as well as in the first 2020 surge. Not really all that far from the all-time peak. The same thing can be seen in nearly all Euro countries. The prediction was that the virus would not only cease to kill people once a high enough proportion of people was vaxxed, it would also prevent transmission altogether. The predictions were grotesquely wrong, just like they've been wrong about lockdowns, masks, etc. So tell me again how this eccentric vaccination campaign in which people need a new dose every few months (unprecedented and medically questionable, to say the least) is succeeding.

The regime's narrative has worked while people still had faith that the pandemic would come to an end due to the "miracle vaccines". People are now disillusioned. The narrative is crumbling. The fact is that the predictions from the manufacturers about the vaccine's efficacy were completely wrong. We might be dealing with an exceptionally bad vaccine. You can't really blame the unvaxxed when there are surges in countries where 95%+ of the population is triple-jabbed, soon to be quadruple-jabbed. This is quite clearly an unmitigated policy disaster. The most painful thing about all this is that the amount of people who have actually died isn't really demographically relevant - we are talking about a 10% increase in mortality or so, with a negligible increase among healthy young people (the people society should be focused on protecting and developing). So, our leaders have upended our society, destroyed young people's lives, and wrecked the children for very little gain.

Israel's death rate is incredibly low. Especially when I look at other countries who had leaders downplay the virus and caused more death (i.e Bolsonaro, Modi & Trump). So it's not a "gotcha". The vaccines have done their job and prevented the absolute worst case scenarios from playing up again.

But 2 years of listening to the antivax is too much. Especially as all these ICU treatments and delayed surgeries cost money. I'm absolutely in favor of more Quebec-like measures and enforcing a tax on the unvaccinated to cover these expenses. Just as how we already have taxes on cigarettes and alcohol.

It is lower than in the US and a bit lower than in Europe, yes, but not really exceptionally low. And it's identical right now to what it was during the first covid wave in 2020. So that does look like failure to me. I doubt we'd be having a black death-like scenario without the vax, which is what you are implying. The elderly are about 99% vaxxed in most of the developed world, and we are seeing similar death rates to when the rate was 0%. And that with "milder" omicron.

But go ahead and keep taking your infinite boosters, just don't force healthy young people to do it for no reason. Nobody is protesting against the right to vaccination, they just don't want to be denied citizenship and treated like cattle by their traitorous government.

The virus mutated. During the summer of 2021, they saw no deaths at all. Even though I can't speak too much about what life was like in Israel, I do know that during the same time in Canada, it was the unvaxxed who were driving up hospital cases right after we had our own success. And even to this day, they're disproportionately hurting our healthcare system.

And that's enough evidence for me. Either get vaccinated, stay home, or get taxed for stealing a hospital bed from a much needier patient.
