The vaccine works so well that a good friend of mine has been in the hospital for over a week due to covid.
The vaccinations aren't an invisible magic anti-COVID shield +3 or anything like that. It statistically makes your risk of needing to go to the ER significantly less, which puts less of a strain on a finite supply of ER Doctors, Nurses, Staff, Supplies, and Beds. It's about mitigating risk to avoid having to triage (see Italy Spring 2020) and literally tell people they have to die instead of get help. It's also about preventing COVID from an opportunity to mutate and get stronger (as the unvaccinated are all but volunteering to be breeding grounds for the next COVID mutation).
Hospitals have shown through their official admission records OVER and OVER again that out of 100 patients admitted to the ER, about 1 is a vaccinated person--the other 99 aren't vaccinated at all.
Sorry your friend had s****y luck with COVID--I sincerely hope they get better. But it's not a reason to forego the vaccination.
