Kronder12 finds it all SO annoying.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't folks. All we have is someone we don't know saying so.
Elective surgeries have been cancelled since long before that.
As for the question they aren't answering: "Why do you feel you don't have to participate in an effort to reduce the load on the healthcare system?" their answer seems to be:
In other words, why should they follow the recommendations of the experts to lower the odds of getting sick, of needing healthcare services, of passing the virus on to someone more vulnerable?

Show the amount of unvaccinated people taking up space in the healthcare system right now. I tried to find this, but it's not easy to find anymore.
Whatever the number is, it's very low.
Then, take into account that not all of those people are there specifically because of covid.
Then, take into account that even if they all were vaccinated, a certain percentage would still be there (if people vaccinated for covid didn't put load on the healthcare system, then why are there so many vaccinated ppeople increasing the load on the healtcare system).
90% of Canadians are vaccinated for covid, so you're claim that the unvaccinated are the cause of the current load is dumb, very dumb.
Stats Canada (very easily Googled by the way, so not sure why you're playing dumb; it's not a good reflection on your intelligence).
As usual, you can spot correlation and have no idea what it means or how to decipher stats. When I pointed out that an increase in population will put a load on the healthcare system, I'm just throwing out one of several issues affecting healthcare system load. We don't live in a vacuum where only covid is affecting things. You believe this to be true because the experts that CTV News parades in front of you want you to believe this is so. And, yes, fat people are also contributing to the load. They are one of many factors. You choose to be extremist to only one group of people that are having a minimal impact on the load right now.
It's too bad. CTV News created a lot of extremists like yourself, spreading disinformation.
Mostly unsupported opinions, folks.
The one link deals with stats from July 1, 2022 to October 1, 2022, long after elective surgeries started being cancelled. Good enough for ScoobyDoo, though.
Here are some stats from the States showing recent deaths from covid by vaccination status: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#rates-by-vaccine-status The unvaccinated are at greater risk.
As for the question asked: "Why do you feel you don't have to participate in an effort to reduce the load on the healthcare system?" their answer appears to be "I believe I have lots of reasons but I can't back them up with any proof. They're just my opinions."
Besides the research that shows that the vaccinations reduce the severity of the effects of the virus when you catch it, there is research that shows that vaccinated people are less likely to pass on the virus: 26 November 2022 "In this prospective household contact study vaccination with SCB-2019 reduced SARS-CoV-2 transmission" https://academic.oup.com/cid/advance-article/doi/10.1093/cid/ciac914/6847509

Remember: there are a lot of people out there who are compromised through no fault of their own. Some here on OmegaCanada - the "they're only sick because they're fat" crowd - refuse to think about those people, the ones with asthma, cancer, cerebral palsy, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, diabetes, emphysema, epilepsy, high blood pressure, kidney disease, motor neurone disease (MND), multiple sclerosis (MS), neurofibromatosis, parkinson's disease, pneumonia, sleep apnea, ...
Then there are the people taking immunosuppressive medications after organ transplants or for conditions such as addison disease, matomyositis, graves disease, hashimoto thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, arthritis, lupus, and others.
Maybe you know someone with one of these or other conditions. There's less chance you'll infect them if you're vaccinated.
None of what you wrote refutes what i said. Try getting an expert to explain it to yo.
Not in your head, of course.
I'm just pointing out to the folks that you can't back up your opinions with anything other than your opinions.
