“After all, COVID-19 vaccines certainly saved many, many lives and reduced the severity of infection for many more”
I don’t think this assertion is true either. The fact that hospitals weren’t over run with Covid cases after the vax can’t be the explanation because hospitals weren’t over run before the vax.
The missing piece in many Covid stories is that data out of Europe and Israel, who had an earlier exposure, told us that the vax, masks and lockdowns were ineffective. It is criminal that US health officials and politicians exploited the pandemic for their own selfish motives. Not surprising since the pandemic was a CCP bio attack on Trump. The timing was just too perfect.
What state do you live in?
It was never hospitals as a whole that were overrun (though some were). It wa the IVU and CVU parts that were swamped
