Should It Happen? [View all]
A growing number of US hospitals are being overwhelmed by having to treat Covid patients who chose to be unvaccinated, and therefore lack the resources to treat patients with other medical emergencies that require immediate care.
People are dying as a result. People who could have been saved were hospital beds available, along with the availability of doctors and nurses to treat them - medical personnel who are instead caring for those who brought their own fate upon themselves.
The "cure" for this situation is obvious: unvaccinated Covid patients should be turned away from hospitals, so that patients who didn't jeopardize themselves, their families, and their communities have full access to the medical treatment they require.
This may seem a heartless approach - but how heartless is it for someone who claimed being unvaccinated was a "personal choice", knowing full well that choice could mean death for others?
The facts are out there. The stats are out there. And those who continue to ignore and/or dismiss them in the name of "personal freedom" are literally killing people on a daily basis - those they've directly infected, and those who are dying for lack of medical care.
Watching hospitals treating the willingly unvaxxed while turning away people in dire need of treatment is like watching random shooters armed with assault weapons being treated for self-inflicted wounds - while their victims bleed-out in the parking lot.
Feel free to lecture me about my lack of human compassion - but any sympathy I might have felt for the willfully ignorant died the minute they were given a hospital bed that should have been given to someone who didn't think their "personal free-dumbs" included killing their fellow citizens.
