As of yesterday (I believe, but today certainly), the majority of beds occupied by Covid patients in Ontario ICUs were those of Fully Vaccinated individuals. The numbers are plain as day:

It was not so long ago it was being trumpeted that those selfish, disgusting, unvaccinated heathen were plugging up hospitals and possibly costing people their lives.

Looking at the graphs above, it’s clear that the sheer number of people in hospitals with Covid has ballooned so if they were already having problems in the fall of 2021, imagine the kinds of problems they must be having now. And all because of those damned fully vaccinated people clogging up the healthcare system! Lock ’em all up! Make ’em pay!

I kid, of course. Mostly.

I’m sure someone can still conjure up a “what if…” scenario using ratios and proportional comparisons to calculate how likely an unvaccinated person is to be admitted to the ICU compared to a fully vaccinated individual, and imagine if all the unvaccinated people suddenly needed to go to the hospital! …but these models and projections clearly aren’t in line with the reality: it’s the fully vaccinated who are putting an undue “burden” on the healthcare system, both in the ICU and in hospitalizations in general.

I use quotes around the word “burden” because I’m not certain how large a share of beds Covid patients take up overall, but if we assume a conservative estimate of roughly 21,000 then all Covid patients presently occupy roughly 1.3% of the total bed capacity.

Maybe it’s not a capacity problem but a staffing problem. I don’t know what the broader solution is but maybe the city and province can start by not demanding the firing of perfectly healthy, capable people? Just a suggestion.

With fully vaccinated individuals occupying nearly three times as many hospital beds as unvaccinated patients, and now that most patients in ICU are fully vaccinated, I wonder if the nightly news will do an expose on the “pandemic of the fully vaccinated” while bemoaning how these scoundrels are taking up needed beds and preventing potentially life-saving surgeries.

Yeah, not gonna hold my breath. More likely we’ll be hearing more about those foul, filthy, diseased, degenerate children next.
