Why are so many vocal advocates for the covid vaccine such demons? Is the rhetoric surrounding the covid vaccine so toxic that it turns otherwise normal people into people who are so hate filled, or are such hate filled people simply predisposed to being influenced by such rhetoric?

Why are people like you so hyperbolic? How is anything that the OP said demonic? The unvaccinated are literally causing people to die besides themselves. There is nothing hate-filled about that.

  what are you talking about? Are you under the impression the vaccines prevent transmission of COVID? at best, the vaccines reduce your personal chance of hospitalization and death. for those at risk from COVID, take the vaccine. But pretending you're assisting your community by doing so is ridiculous and unfounded in data. "Fully vaccinated" people appear MORE likely to catch and spread Omicron 90 days post-vaccination.

  > The unvaccinated are literally causing people to die besides themselves. There is nothing hate-filled about that. As a soon to be triple vaccinated healthy adult I wish we could soon admit that we do this for our own good and to not be away from work. By now it is very clear that about the only thing the current vaccine does against Omicron is lessen the consequences for the individuals who take the vaccine. I still recommend it but it won't save anyones life except those who take the vaccine.

    Lessening the consequence of a COVID infection results in lesser chance of having to need a hospital bed. Whenever you use a hospital bed during a time of 100% occupancy, you cause one person who needs a bed to not get it, which can and does (on average) result in more harm and death.

The vaccine narrative is collapsing, and people are desperate for answers and to find someone responsible. They were promised high immunity from infection and close to 100% immunity from hospitalization/death. Real-world stats paint a completely different picture and people are desperate.
