Hi Mina, the answer is straightforward.
Your statement that "the vaccinated are still just as likely to infect others" is scientifically wrong. Vaccinated persons infect others less (<) than unvaccinated persons. 1/5

Even if Omicron is less virulent than Delta, the massive number of new cases still results in hospitalization & puts pressure on a healthcare system that was stretched prior to this wave.
Covid-related personnel absences (via infection & exposure) further exacerbate the problem.

Beg your pardon Mr. Poilievre, you now coin the Supreme Court of Canada as "a government bureaucracy"? Shame on you!
This is from the same opposition leader who already said he will use the

You want to be PM, and you're already
Another government bureaucracy threatens to ban a Canadian from practicing his profession because he expressed political opinions the state doesn’t like.
Now they force him to undergo a political “reeducation.”

In Australia they close places who show negligence in care. In Ontario government offers impunity. Then "commissions" to study what went wrong

CDC: ⬆️evidence that fully vaccinated are < likely than unvaccinated to acquire or transmit to others. However, the risk for breakthrough infection in fully vaccinated cannot be completely eliminated when there is continued community transmission. 2/5
In short, vaccination reduces transmission although it doesn't bring it down to zero. The Delta variant has reduced the benefit of vaccine (lowering transmission), but has not eliminated it. The cited NYT and CDC sources confirm this, even with the Delta variant. 3/5
COVID vaccines remain effective in⬇️ transmission, symptomatic & severe illness & death. However, the Delta variant has⬇️this effectiveness. We MUST TAKE ACTION to stop the GLOBAL spread of the virus to avoid facing new and more > dangerous variants with even⬇️effectiveness 4/5
