If the government has, through ineptness, disinterest, or whatever else, failed to make the health care system robust enough, and 10% of people are causing 50% of the burden...how is it not a moral issue for them to cut it out?

Some of the messaging is a bit questionable (especially when it's characterized the way you have, which is not the most charitable), but I just don't understand that not-a-moral-issue thing at all, even given that with Omicron your vaccinations aren't going to do much to slow the spread down.

One might decide that freedom of choice is more important than greater availability of medical care, but that seems like squarely a moral-vs-moral issue.

(Also, I don't know what Pfizer has been saying about the vaccine, but nobody is listening to Pfizer...there are piles of studies from all over the world that show exactly how good or not-good the vaccine is. Whether or not Pfizer wants to misrepresent anything is irrelevant in this case because it's one of the most publicly scrutinized products in human history. The only time you have to trust them a little bit is when they apply for a new authorization for something that hasn't happened before and which they're testing first (e.g. lower dose for 5-11 year olds).)
