Well said Falconcrest!
I was not going to reply further but the ridiculous blabber being spewed by peabrains like @yuviarora is agitating this Infectious disease physician
I have been running covid-19 treatment services at the hospital where we are at 100% capacity, flooded with non-covid patients from the back log/pent up demand due to COVID and now becaues of resurging pandemic, we have approximately 10-15% additional patients, 90% of these new COIVD are unvaccinated
The unvaccinated are prolonging the pandemic in the high socioeconomic countries. That is a fact.
Masks greatly reduce transmission and save lifes. Nobody is harmed by wearing a mask.
I too would like to go in person to Audiophile shows but there in deed seems to be a significant number of fools in this crowd that will make it less safe.
These same people will eventually get COVID and will consume scarce costly resources, an outcome that can be avoided > 95% of the time with vaccination.
there are countries (e.g., Singapore) that either are or plan to charge unvaccinated patients for the medical costs if they end up needing hospitalization. I think that is a great idea and perhaps will persuade people to be vaccinated.
