I had it twice. Once before vaccines, once this month. This month was a minor cold, unvaxxed I was lucky not to die. I take my personal experience as being more applicable. It also corresponds with statistics. The dead people and those in ICUs are more likely to be unvaccinated. Those who don't believe in math and science don't believe vaccines work.

My family doctor was intubated for a month, and survived. This was before the vaccines were even available.
I had a high school friend, unvaxxed, die. I know of other people with bad outcomes but these are the two I'm most directly connected to. I'm triple vaxxed now and my jurisdiction I believe has 94% over the age of 12 double vaxxed, or something close to that number.
I do think were it not for the vaccine not only would we be in total lockdown, but that I would know great numbers of people that didn't make it, or had long COVID.

Hairball
At a rally in Washington DC this month opposing vaccine mandates, Mr Kennedy Jr compared COVID-19 vaccine requirements in the US to conditions in Nazi Germany and said people living under Nazi rule "could hide in an attic, like Anne Frank did". He later apologised for his comments and his wife, the actress Cheryl Hines, condemned the comparison.

Agreed. Since the vaccines became available I know of lots of folks and their acquaintances who caught it. Only one person I know of who was vaccinated had to go to the hospital for a night. She has asthma and other health issues. I know quite a few deaths and long hospitalizations. The only thing in common was they were all unvaccinated. No most, ALL. The ages ranged from late 20's on up. Some left young children behind. That's the sad thing.

What We Can Learn From How the 1918 Pandemic Ended (New York Times Jan 31, 2022)
Most histories of the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed at least 50 million people worldwide say it ended in the summer of 1919 when a third wave of the respiratory contagion finally subsided.
Yet the virus continued to kill. A variant that emerged in 1920 was lethal enough that it should have counted as a fourth wave. In some cities, among them Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Kansas City, Mo., deaths exceeded even those in the second wave, responsible for most of the pandemic’s deaths in the United States. This occurred despite the fact that the U.S. population had plenty of natural immunity from the influenza virus after two years of several waves of infection and after viral lethality in the third wave had already decreased.
Nearly all cities in the United States imposed restrictions during the pandemic’s virulent second wave, which peaked in the fall of 1918. That winter, some cities reimposed controls when a third, though less deadly wave struck. But virtually no city responded in 1920. People were weary of influenza, and so were public officials. Newspapers were filled with frightening news about the virus, but no one cared. People at the time ignored this fourth wave; so did historians. The virus mutated into ordinary seasonal influenza in 1921, but the world had moved on well before.

So, an unvaxxed athlete suffers cardiac arrest and the vaccine is blamed for it. Utter nonsense.
