Perhaps people should take the free shot; rather than have tax payers foot the bill to build this that and the other. And rather than having everyone else's healthcare premiums increase.
The issue I'm debating is about innocents not having an ICU bed available during an emergency because of the unvaxxed occupying them.
This has nothing to do with 'survival of the fittest.' If it did, one could argue that we should let the unvaxxed die at home, sucking down ivermectin, as their brains are obviously unfit; instead of taking up valuable hospital space--since they chose to be unvaxxed, and should be OK with seeing that choice through. That's survival of the fittest brains.
Absolutely, if someone makes a decision to
not be vaccinated and they then become severely ill from Covid Delta Variant...they should be require to foot their own medical expenses.
Yet, if their medical insurance plan will cover their medical expenses...great.
In contrast, hospitals (there are many) that can not give proper medical care to other patients because of too many Covid patients using the resources of the hospital...put them outside in a medical tent like the ones New York used in Central Park to manage last year's Covid crisis that were overwhelming the hospitals.
Of course the families of the Covid patients scream and holler about how unfair it was.
In contrast, this year is completely different because people understood face mask wear, they understood to wash their hands, they understood to not interact with large crowds and they understood the importance of vaccines.
- Simply, no more excuses why adults (I'm not talking about children that can not be vaccinated) can not do what it takes to protect themself, their friends and their loved ones.
Yet, those that are publicly known to be anti-vaccine, anti-mask, and spreading misinformation about Covid online as in
expressing themselves on social media...
They are the people that should be
denied medical care when they become severely ill from Covid. By the way, children are exempt even if their Covid illness is due to being infected by an ignorant Parent because Pediatric care of children with severe Covid illness should always be a priority.
