vaccinated or not. Our County Executive said that there are 348 people hospitalized for Covid in our county now. None of them are fully vaccinated, he said in a press conference the other day.

vaccination except in actual, verifiable higher risk health related cases, insurers would probably follow suit.

but have refused the vac, then they should not receive any treatment?
Really?
You would have the ER just send them on their way to infect even more people?
Really?

That's not how our system works, thank you.

... socialist hoax designed to rob me of my liberty and free-dumb.

How about this,... they non Covid vaccers go way to the bad of the line when it comes to available medical service or equipment. Those who have been vaccinated or are registered to be vaccinated immediately go to the front of the line for treatment.

These Fascist shit-heads must come to terms with the fact this is not a joke. Also there will be real consequences if they persist on approaching this pandemic as a sophomoric teeny bopper ---fun-fest.

I'm sorry,... if you can not take the health and welfare of the community seriously,... then your health and welfare becomes secondary to adults who care about their community and strive to protect it in a serious manner.

And it ain't going to be cheap to be a covid denier.

I have read here on DU that pfizer and moderna have both applied for full FDA approval. So we may be mere weeks away from that reality.
