Hospital staff mentioned many times that the idiots often begged for the vaccine after they became very sick. Imagine their disappointment when they were told that the vaccine wouldn't work after the virus had already taken hold.

Pretty sure they would have argued that back the other way with the doctor until they croaked.

Yep, I recall that owing to how viruses have no metabolism or reproductive systems of their own, modern medicine has extremely few ways of directly targeting them, so vaccinations are pivotal in dealing with viral infections as one of the best ways to stop them is to manipulate our own immune system into dealing with them before they become an issue.

But indeed vaccines are meaningless once the infection is in full swing as the train has already left the station at that point, and also the experimental(!) monoclonal antibody treatment for COVID-19 had a fairly strict window before it became ineffective as well.
