There are about 250 covid patients in ICU in Ontario, 100 are on ventilators. There are c. 370 hospitals in the province, which has a population of 14.5 million. You keep using proportionality because it looks more damning and scary, but the fact of the matter is covid has a very high survival rate and seriousness can be mitigated by factors other than vaccination -- but none of these measures are ever advocated, in fact some are poo-pooed as "conspiracy theories". Monoclonal antibody treatments were available since January 2021, highly effective at reducing severity and deaths, yet only began to be used in a limited basis in about September. When's the last time you bemoaned the fact that had it been used earlier, many lives could have been saved? Never?
This is complete bullshit.
In Ontario roughly 532 unvaccinated people per million are hospitalized, while the number for vaccinated people per million is only about 105.
Roughly 135 unvaccinated people per million are in ICUs, while the number for unvaccinated people per million is 9.
Here's a graph that shows the numbers: https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2022-01-05-Current-COVID-19-Risk-in-Ontario-by-Vaccination-Status-Separate-Charts-1024x317.png

The short version: vaccines keep you out of the hospitals and ICUs and make room for people who need help with other medical problems.

Proportionality seems to matter. I gather you haven't had any elective surgeries cancelled.
Considering how many people die in this country from botched surgeries, those being cancelled could be saving thousands of lives.
