I am not sure this argument stacks up. As you say your self there a many people dying and being saved in hospitals of other diseases or accidents There are many other emergencies always taking up ambulances and hospital capacity. I have have had the ride several times myself . Some can not quickly get an ambulance or visit a GP or get into hospital due the indundation of COVID patients. And so they could die waiting or by delay.
My double vaccinated (Pfizer)son at 27 and super fit had a bad flu like illness with COVID lasting a week. Three vaccinations , two Astra and one RNA makes all the difference as all the studies have shown to reduce symptoms markedly . So the Astra works and is sold at cost price.
The hospital doctors I know of are working irrespective of living with contacts as they have no choice and that is the current rule. So they live their lives in masks doing more than 12 hour shifts and are falling ill themselves. Same with nurses and ambos.

Non-evidence based isolation rules have caused staff shortages which are not helping, but Australia has around 100,000 hospital beds so we are well short of "running out of room" for outlier patients.
