So if you want to make cases less severe, you promote vaccines because you get the added bonus of stopping the spread. Stopping the spread ends the pandemic.
If you just try to make cases less severe and not control spread, you are going to go backwards. More spread means more people in the hospital. More people in the hospital means more deaths per capita because we deplete the limited resources that we have to treat patients. If we stopped using masks and social distancing, we'd also have more spread, which means more cases and less resources to treat patients, causing more deaths. This also doesn't take into account the long term effects of covid.
So just treating covid means that death rate goes up.
Vaccines dont stop the spread, or prevent people from getting covid, as we are seeing every single day everywhere. The CDC even admits this. If anything, they help it not develop into severe illness and that is about it. Now we are learning that the protection they do offer wanes over a few months, or doesnt cover protection in mutations, and natural immunity seems far superior in a big way. So lets help people recover and get the far superior natural immunity. Vaccines are a personal decision.
