The COVID vaccine is effective at preventing mass ICU occupancy. The smallpox vaccine is exceptionally effective when compared to other vaccines. Most other vaccines require 3-4 applications for reasonable immunity; same as COVID.
COVID mutates too fast and the covid vaccines do no provide sterilizing immunity. The smallpox vaccine provides sterilizing immunity, which enables eradication.
I agree the COVID vaccine is good at reducing severe cases and preventing death.
Don't pretend to be at all concerned about ICU capacity if you also support mass firings of nurses who won't take the vaccine, which is another of the "prongs" being rolled out by Biden today.
