What's this?

So are unvaccinated people...and those are the ones ending up in...

...hospitals and dying. If you've had Covid recently and don't want to get the vaccine right now, I completely understand that...but you seriously should consider it in a year or so, similar to what we do annually with the flu vaccine. Likewise, someone that had Covid over a year ago before Delta should consider the vaccine now.
Surely you don't think if you've ever had the flu that you should never get that vaccine do you? It doesn't have to be an either/or scenario.
