This is also ignoring the fact that hospital staffing and beds have been on the decline for the past few decades. We were gonna run out of capacity at some point. COVID just made that come sooner.
I wouldn't say its forbidden. It's just that the antivaxxers have become the new "them", and "enemy". I'm not a fan of them, but ignoring the obvious problems in our healthcare system and blaming it on the action of a bunch of people who for multitudes of reasons don't trust the government is just liberalism in action.
But yeah, I'm really frustrated that we're ignoring the obvious problems here.
