If you are vaccinated, why should you care if there are a lot of unvaccinated folks?

After all vaccines are really protective, right?

Yes, vaccines are really protective

But what happens to unvaccinated folks affects us all

Why we have to get more people vaccinated

So if you are fully vaccinated, why should you care?

1. Hospitals full of unvaccinated COVID-19 patients

Don't have room for people who have appendicitis, heart attacks, or a car accident

2. Spikes in cases shut down schools, which is terrible for kids and parents

3. Raging infections shut down restaurants, stores, make it hard for folks to get people back to offices

4. High infection rates put vulnerable people who can't get immunity at risk

Pandemics sicken and kill a lot of people

But they also disrupt the social fabric

The idea that the vaccinated can get back to normal while unvaccinated are getting sick in massive numbers?

Its a fantasy

Seems right only if you don't think about it

But the disruption of large scale outbreaks affects us all
4/5

We should get people vaccinated because:

1. The unvaccinated are our friends, our neighbors and we should care

2. It will keep hospitals open for everyone

3. It'll protect the vulnerable

And it'll let us get back to our lives & spend less time worrying about the pandemic
