Besides, the non-deadlyness comes from being able to treat people in the ICU.
That means places are running out of space in their ICUs. Hence peoples cancer treatments are being delayed because there isn't the ICU space to handle these treatments.
The treatment of very ill covid cases has a massive cost in health to the general population. And the people requiring ICU space are predominantly unvaccinated. There lies some of the crux of the issue though. Because taking a vaccine to reduce change of death from 0.5% to 0.1% would feels different than taking a vaccine to reduce chance of blocking someone else's cancer treatment from 0.5% to 0.1% (numbers here are made up by me). Essentially the vaccine mostly protects others who need access to healthcare.
