Don't know what it's like over in the US, but here in the UK 'the vaccinated' aren't some tiny percentage of hospitalisations. Actually, they're currently sitting around 40%, which means there's almost as much chance of your VACCINATED colleague "winning himself a trip to the ICU" as the unvaccinated. You might want to use the word 'idiot' more cautiously.

- arn 5y agoBut there are more vaccinated people than unvaccinated people, so it’s proportionally not “almost as much chance”. Ultimately when enough of the population is vaccinated, you’d expect the majority of hospitalizations to be vaccinated.

- Steltek 5y agoI strongly stand by "idiot". A vaccinated person is doing the bare minimum to avoid serious complications and the vaccine is extraordinarily good at that. S/he is not an idiot. An unvaccinated person is practically inviting illness. They're idiots, through and through.
