Oh, ambulances, here in B.C. we have been having this issue for many years. We have 6 OD deaths a day here, these people take up a lot of resources, for the 6 who dies, the ambulances probably revived a 100, whilst regular people are stuck waiting hrs. I hear staffing, and unions say, cutbacks

Well I don't know about the exact situation in British Columbia, but I suspect it's similar to the UK and Australia, which would mean you guys have also seen a similar shift in hospitalization ratios. I would also go out on a limb and guess you're experiencing a similar ambulance crisis. They can try to explain it away as "a crisis we've seen for many years", but that simply isn't true, at least not in Australia. I wrote about this issue in more detail here. I've seen a massive increase of ambulances on the roads over the last few months, and I didn't see anything like that throughout the entire "pandemic".
The MSM is trying to put the blame on anything except a possible connection to the vaccine. If it were simply a result of under-staffing we would have seen this problem emerge much sooner. Plus it's not simply a lack of staff, it's a lack of ambulances because so many people are making emergency calls. Furthermore, if they want to blame this health crisis on a lack of staff, perhaps they should think about hiring back the people they fired for refusing the vaccine. People are actually dying and our health services can barely keep up, it would be absolutely reckless not to hire those who are willing to work.

That is a good link, in the UK and Wales there has been a recent spike in the percentage of people testing positive for COVID.
Eight percent of those tested seems high but if fewer people are bothering to test because of a false sense of security after vaccination, that leaves a larger percentage of truly sick people going for the tests. Unvaccinated people should have an elevated risk for testing positive since the percentage of successful virus incubation is higher for them. Hopefully the increased number of breakthrough cases are just a seasonal anomaly. Fatalities are low so you would think most of these cases would not require hospitalization.
There hasn't been any uptick in hospitalisations, Its been going down gradually.
ETA..Here, the ambulance shortage is really a driver shortage, the problem is how the ambulance service runs, or schedules. This has been going on for years before covid.
I wasn't talking about the total numbers of Covid hospitalizations, I was talking about the ratio of vaccinated to unvaccinated hospitalizations. Covid hospitalizations in general are probably falling in Canada because the Northern Hemisphere is coming out of winter. We are just entering Winter in the Southern Hemisphere and cases are slowly rising. But case numbers aren't rising nearly enough to account for the recent ambulance crisis.
I just explained all the reasons it's not a driver crisis. This is something which has recently occurred, did you read the other post I linked in my previous reply? Even the MSM admits this is due to a surge of emergency calls, and they are blaming things like long-term Covid symptoms. I saw with my own eyes how many ambulances were driving around just a few weeks ago when I did a long drive across Australia.
There was a crazy amount of ambulances on the road, I've never seen anything like it, and I've been driving that same route several times a year for many years. Something has clearly put a massive demand on our emergency responders, and it isn't just Covid because it only really started about 2 or 3 months ago, which just happens to be the same time period when they started rolling out booster shots in Australia.

Remarkably, the British health service UKHSA has stopped sharing information about breakthrough infections, infections that occur in people who have been vaccinated against corona.
Well isn't that convenient? I thought this was a "pandemic of the unvaccinated". What a stain on humanity this whole ordeal is.
Furthermore, DO NOT put any stock into the idea of "Covid long haulers". Yes I'm sure there are some individuals that sustained more long term damage after getting over the Covid virus, but they're rare and represent a tiny minority of the overall population. TPTB seem to plan on using the long-hauler excuse to explain the rise in specific cancers, blood clot issues, myocarditis, etc. that are absolutely linked to the unnecessary experimental vaccine.
I would agree, that would seem concerning. I can only say, I'm not seeing that here..I'm not saying that it's not happening in your local.

There's a difference between with covid and from covid.
The key metric is that the number of people who are seriously sick with covid make up a tiny proportion of the total number of people with covid.
Much lower than in 2020 and 2021.
Therefore the vax is doing what it is supposed to do.
