"The Delta coronavirus variant can transmit easily from vaccinated people to their household contacts, a British study found on Thursday, although contacts were less likely to get infected if they were vaccinated themselves."
It seems like the only people who think the vaccines should provide a 100% gold-plated guarantee against getting the tiniest bit sick are the people who don't want to take them.
In reality the vaccines reduce the severity of the disease most of the time. This frees up some hospital resources for people with other problems.
I've never believed that the vaccines would "100% gold-plated guarantee against getting the tiniest bit sick". This is what governments tried to make people think, and 80% of Canadians believed it. The India variant wave would have rapidly subsided as it did elsewhere even without a mass vaccination campaign, any strains on the health care system could have been mitigated by other means.
SK like other provinces had a year to prepare and could have been using treatments that could have mitigated the problem, but instead chose to maintain pre-pandemic hospital capacity and adopted and vaccines-or-bust strategy. This is why only c. 80 patients in ICU are resulting in a "crisis". You should be very concerned that out medical system (apparently) can't cope with a "new" virus that has a 99.99% survival rate. Too bad "health experts" were more concerned with politicizing covid19 than actually working in the public's interest to end this "pandemic".
You say "they could have done it different" but provide nothing else.

I gather you're not a taxpayer. Taxpayers would be screaming themselves to death if they had to pay for a system that stood around waiting for global pandemics.
99.99% survival
That number is only valid if you include the people who don't get the virus, so it's pretty much useless. Look at the "Closed Cases" box on the following web page and grade school math will show you that of the people who test positive for the virus globally, one in fifty dies. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
The vaccines are dangerous and ineffective junk. There is a reason why you need five or more years to develop them and why nothing has worked against any other coronavirus. And yes, I have heard the propaganda that the vaccines have been studied for years (misleading info). They have never been applied at this scale, and the times when they tried, the experiments had to come to an end because of factors like ADE and OAS. But you don't care about that because your job is to correct the record.
The other coronaviruses do not cause global pandemics. Treatments exist for their symptoms, and the pressure to develop vaccines is much less.
the propaganda that the vaccines have been studied for years (misleading info)
The technology behind the new vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) has been in development for about 50 years. If you don't like mRNA vaccines you can choose AstraZeneca or Johnson and Johnson - they use vaccine technology that has been around for 200 years.

When? Back that statement up.
How could Saskatchewan have avoided shipping ICU patients to Ontario last week.

Misinformation. The vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness and death from the virus (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=are+covid+vaccines+effective%3F&t=h_&ia=web) and it's beginning to look like they slow down the spread of it as well (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/science/science-briefs/fully-vaccinated-people.html) In Ontario on Nov 1 2021 about 65% of hospitalized people with covid come from the 15% of the population that is not fully vaccinated. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data
This is a new application of a technology that has a 50 year history of development. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=history+of+mRNA+technology&t=h_&ia=web

"there is no evidence that ADE facilitates the spread of SARS-CoV in infected hosts" https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/20587384211050199
Are you referring to "Original Antigenic Sin" or "oligoadenylate synthetase"?
Wow, you're energetic! Whats the daily rate for work like this?
