Not all unvaccinated people end up in a hospital though. So aren't we discriminating against them?

It's equivalent to saying that lets bar all male Canadian citizens from entering Canada, since over 90% of rapes are committed by men!

We absolutely are, and I applaud the effort.

If they were fighting against rabies or measles or tetanus vaccinations, I'd say "Good on you! Do your part to clean out the shallow end of the gene pool."

But once their stupidity endangers others, we as civilized people step in and stop them.

When unvaccinated COVID patients flood the hospitals, it means that other people with serious or life threatening medical situations can't get the quality treatment they need. At this point, the antivax stupidity crosses over into danger-to-society.

So yeah, block them until they no longer pose a threat.

In our part of the world, despite eye-watering infection rates over the last few weeks, hospitals are absolutely nowhere near capacity (and that's putting it mildly).

Were younger and fitter people really flooding hospitals if they got Covid? Thought the data on age and comorbidities is pretty clear and has been for a while now.[0][1]

Thank God nobody old or frail ever caught the disease from a young fit person.

So you'll be ok with barring all male Canadian citizens from entering Canada as well?
