UMMM because if you are vaccinated you are much less likely to get so sick from COVID that you have to go to hospital if you get it. If you are sick enough to have to go to hospital than you are much more likely to die or get long COVID. Almost all of the vaccinated people who get COVID get sick and then get better without any required intervention by the health care system.
Also the ICU bed that an unvaccinated person takes up, is a bed that could be used by someone who is not in hospital because they chose to not take a free, safe, and effective vaccine and therefore suffer from an illness that was almost certainly preventable. Why is this concept so hard to understand ?
Search StatsCan for the common comorbidities of these ICU patients. These aren't average, generally healthy people taking up these beds. These are the vulnerable patients that should be vaccinated, and unfortunately a good portion of these same patients are vaccinated. The outcome can go either way.
Even a person in mediocre health isn't taking up these beds. Why this was pushed on healthy people, particularly our youth is beyond me. We know now a vaccinated individual isn't protecting anyone else.
Pretty simple,
(A) if you're vulnerable get fully vaccinated.
(B) if not, proceed at your own pace.
