I would rather have a live and vaccinated firefighter take me to the hospital than have to wait at home because an unvaccinated firefighter died of COVID or is hooked up to a vent

Someone healthy enough to be a firefighter has a near-zero chance of being hospitalized because of Covid.
Can't be that near zero if COVID deaths were about the same as all other causes of firefighter deaths combined in 2021.
Didn't know that. Thank you.

Of course, there's the huge complicating factor that the official figures for "covid deaths" conflate "died with" and "died from".
