Analysis Summary
Canadian hospital data shows respiratory illness hospitalizations have more than doubled since before COVID, driven partly by dropping vaccination rates. This matters because it contradicts the assumption that COVID is done — the disease is still filling hospital beds alongside flu and other vaccine-preventable infections, straining healthcare systems. What's missing: whether this spike is driven primarily by new infections, long-COVID complications, or behavioral changes (people seeking hospital care they wouldn't have before), which would change the policy implications.

“Vaccine-preventable respiratory infections sending thousands to hospital, all while vaccine uptake is dropping”
CBC confirms doubled hospitalizations and backsliding vaccination rates. Post uses 'thousands' which is consistent with doubled rates but lacks specific volume.
“COVID-19 is still having a big impact on our hospitals”
Direct quote from CIHI/CBC source describing continued COVID impact on hospitalization data.
