The vaccine experiment has failed like some experts predicted it would. There is a reason vaccines take 5+ years to develop.

Nope. Ask OP how they support that fable.
As of December 17, 2021
" average weekly rates indicate that unvaccinated people were significantly more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to fully vaccinated people.
Among youth and adults aged 12 to 59 years, unvaccinated people were 31 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people.
Among older adults aged 60 years or older, unvaccinated people were 15 times more likely to be hospitalized with COVID-19 than fully vaccinated people."

Look at the current ontario stats: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data
0.13% of unvaccinated Ontarians are currently in hospital with Covid.
0.012% of vaccinated Ontarians are currently in hospital with Covid.
That’s about 10.8 times more likely for unvaccinated to currently be in hospital.
Considering that the overall likelihood for unvaccinated to end up in hospital since covid began was historically higher, the gap is now closing. This is trending in the wrong direction and, so, MrPussyWhiskers may be onto something.
Those numbers would mean something if there was an ICU bed for every resident of Ontario.
But given there are almost 15 million people in Ontario and only 2343 ICU beds (https://data.ontario.ca/dataset/availability-of-adult-icu-beds-and-occupancy-for-covid-related-critical-illness-crci/resource/c7f2590f-362a-498f-a06c-da127ec41a33) that means there is only about 0.00016 of an ICU bed per person, and that's a pretty tiny fraction of 0.13 or 0.012.
And a bunch of the real beds are taken up by people with other medical problems. There were, in fact, only 540 ICU beds available on January 6. https://www.durhamradionews.com/archives/149379
How about considering the record so far? Look at https://health-infobase.canada.ca/src/data/covidLive/Epidemiological-summary-of-COVID-19-cases-in-Canada-Canada.ca.pdf, which tells us that, in Table 2. "Characteristics and severe outcomes associated unvaccinated, partially vaccinated and fully vaccinated confirmed cases reported to PHAC, as of December 18, 2021"
Deaths:
75.6% Unvaccinated (no vax)
7.2% Cases not yet protected (1 vax but dies within 14 days)
7.0% Partially vaccinated (14 days past the first, but not 14 days past the 2nd)
10.2% Fully vaccinated (more than 14 days past the 2nd shot)
That includes the period before the vaccines were available, but as of today the unvaccinated are still heavily over-represented in the hospitals and ICUs. Despite being only 12% of the eligible population they are taking up 44% of the covid cases in ICU and 24% of the other covid cases in hospital.
Being vaccinated means you have a better chance of staying out of the hospital.
Much information
