That’s true, and I don’t mean to denegrate an effective treatment for COVID, especially when compared to the snake oil that’s being peddled. As a means of mitigating the effects of a breakthrough infection (or of possible infections of a more vaccine-resistant variant), this option may well be a lifesaving treatment method, and that is worth celebrating.
It’s just that the death rate is near zero for vaccinated people, the vaccines are easily available and free (in the US), and yet over a third of the eligible population has not taken it. It’s frustrating that so much money ($700 pp) will be spent mostly treating people who refused the free vaccine in the first place.
