One of my friends is an ICU nurse. My friend just laughs now when asked about whether vaccination works because nearly every single person in the ICU for the past few months has been unvaccinated.

One patient was basically 50/50 to die on the surgery table during a mechanical heart transplant due to covid destroying their natural heart, miraculously lived through it, and had the nerve to ask my friend whether they still needed to be vaccinated after they were being wheeled into the recovery area. It's almost comical the cognitive dissonance to challenge the team of doctors who literally just saved your life when they tell you to get the vaccine.

Being anti-vax is basically a religion at this point, so there's no use trying to convince people.
