That's understandable. As tempting as it is to just treat everyone that's hesitant about the vaccines like they're idiots, humans really are inherently bad at risk analysis. Not everyone has the ability to be reassured by numbers that show vaccination is clearly the safer option, which is something that's difficult but important to sympathize with in interacting with skeptics. Actually seeing the near-worst case scenario arise and be dealt with so trivially does a lot more to assuage those concerns than any number of statistics will. On the flip side, this is why so many families are making the decision to get vaccinated after a family member dies of Covid: Until they actually see the disease first-hand, it's hard to recognize just how dangerous it can be.
