I'm curious what the scare quotes around the words _vaccinated_, _vaccine_ and _hospital capacity_ are meant to convey.

The vaccines, imperfect as they are, seem to have dramatically reduced the incidence of severe symptoms requiring hospitalizations and of death due to Covid. My wife is a vascular surgeon & one of her colleagues handles the placement of ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) for patients with severe respiratory failure. Since the vaccines have become available, the only patients going on ECMO are unvaccinated.

I'd call the Covid-19 vaccines pretty remarkable and only condemnable if your criteria for success is 100% effective in preventing all cases of Covid-19 with no risk of adverse effects.
