  1. Looking at that it’s like the partially vaccinated are doing really well, and that there isn’t much between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, or am I reading it wrong?

  2. The chart is good for what it is but not good at demonstrating the real size of the gulf here as it doesn’t bring out that unvaccinated people are only a tiny % of the population

  3. And the stupid cunts on social media are still saying “aha see?! Half the people are vaccinated!”

    They simply do not have the intellect to understand maths.

  4. And if we were to add a cost of ICU hours per head of population per cohort, the unvaccinated would be costing the state 9x what the unvaccinated are.

    I’m sure the tax take from all those supplements and teas (the ones that bind with graphene and microchips) will bridge the gap though.

  5. So, let’s just say, 9/10 people have opted to be vaccinated. 1/10 people are willfully vaccine-hesitant. The population of Ireland is 1000.

    There are 10 people in the Irish ICU ward. 5 have vaccinated status. 5 have no-vaccine status.

    Of the 900 people in the population who have vaccine status, they drain 50% of the ICU capacity of the nation.

    Of the 100 people in the population who have no vaccine status they also drain 50% of the ICU capacity of the nation.

    It’s 50/50 – this is out of proportion. It should be 90/10 to be in proportion.

    Doesn’t seem fair. One community is taking a disproportionate amount of ICU resources. They’re basically living off the backs of the other community who are vaccinated. This is parasitical.

    That being said, they are as deserving as community healthcare as is everybody- wouldn’t dream of taking it away from anybody.

    It’s just unfortunate they don’t have a sense of responsibility towards the community they live in and de-risk themselves by getting on with the vaccination, instead of arguing the toss every fucking time.

  6. We should be doing a Singapore and charging people for these beds. Want a free ICU bed? Show proof of vaccination.

  7. So around 45 people? 5% of the population is 250,000… so 45 people out of 250k. How many of the 45 are pregnant or have an underlying condition that meant they couldn’t get the vax? How many have been in ICU for months?
