A precedent of denying care to patients who could have avoided their illness at absolutely no cost but chose to be ing re ed instead is a good standard.
This was always the danger, as I have been pointing out since day one.
300,000 total hospital beds for 300,000,000 million people. That is total hospital beds, not ICU/acute care with is even less than that.
All you need is to suddenly have a need to hospitalize somewhere around 0.01% to 0.1% of the population at once, and you have filled up every open ICU/acute care bed in the country.

Fox News viewership is directly tied to lower vaccination rates
86% of adult Democrats have received at least one dose of the vaccine, compared to just 52% of Republicans.
one peer-reviewed study determined that viewers of Fox News were statistically more likely to say they would refuse the COVID-19 vaccines than viewers of CNN or MSNBC. This appeared to confirm two prior (non peer-reviewed) studies which showed a measurable correlation between Fox News viewership and refusal to comply with stay-at home orders issued by governmental agencies to contain the spread of the virus. A Pew survey also conducted last year confirmed that Fox News viewers were also more likely than their CNN/MSNBC watching peers to believe that the media had "greatly exaggerated" the pandemic; others showed that viewers of conservative news outlets felt that CDC reports were being deliberately slanted to undermine the Trump administration.

Murdoch family is homicidal, to keep the advertising profits pouring in.
ok. so refuse medical treatment to smokers, drunk drivers, people who eat too much fast food, etc
you yourself are ok with being this "democuck" when it comes to black/hispanic folk who are unvaccinated. you only want to dance on the graves of the white conservatives. its pure spite
Hospitals can't turn patients away by law (thank you Reagan)... now the whole insurance premium thing makes sense. The problem is that you have States like Texas were a lot of these re s reside which happens to also have the lowest amount of insured people in America.
Well to be fair we haven’t heard crickets, apparently a lot of poor people can’t afford a vaccine that….checking notes….is free?
Who are they going to spread it to? Other anti-vaxxers?
Accountability and social responsibility matter. The costs of treating anti-vaxxers are ultimately shared in rising health care premiums. ICU space is zero-sum and the beds they take up are ones that can't be used by truly innocent victims. There's simply no justification at this point for not being vaccinated. And there's no moral high road to treating these idiots in spite of themselves because we're seeing cate being denied to other non-covid patients. And that has nothing to do with the economic and social costs this is exacting as shut downs are becoming likely again.
It just makes sense. Bad drivers pay more, unhealthy people pay more, why shouldn't unvaccinated idiots pay more?
The Obama blacks and hispanics prefer a 6 pack to a vaccine tbqh
Morons lets dance on their graves.
paying more is one thing. refusing medical service and sending them home to die is different
Also, there's really no excuse for my hispanic bros not to be vaccinated. I don't know what the deal is with african americans, but I can't think of a good reason either.
Strawman. I’m talking about calling anti-vaxxers stupid here and I’m 100% in favor of calling black and Hispanic anti-vaxxers braindead over-religious n!ggers and s. That’s different than dancing on their grave when they die.
Sounds progressive
Of course.
children who are too young to get vaccinated. people who are immunocompromised. vulnerable people who are vaccinated and yet become breakthrough cases.
its not. thats why i've been vehemently arguing against this concept
None of these are analogous. There's a free vaccine. Smokers and fat s like DMC aren't contagion risks. And I'd be fine with treating anti-vaxxers if, at the end of their treatment, they had a felony conviction like DWI criminals. And none of these three are putting a strain on limited hospital resources.
Are children and HIV patients going to hang out with Cletus after he returns from being turned down at the ER?
this is what happens when you make these moral claims on the fly instead of really thinking things out for a minute. even when acknowledging that minorities are anti-vax, you specifically excluded them from your ing the football on graves celebration
if its Cletus' kids and his mom that lives in the trailer next door, maybe
Easy theyre morons and deserve to die.
Just less votes for Biden 2024 Cheers
That’s already happening at uncontainable levels whether you treat them or send them home.
im willing to compromise. The same way The Inglorious Bas s carved a swastika into the forehead of every Nazi they showed mercy to, anti-vaxxers can get treated for COVID if they get “ANTI-VAX” carved into their forehead with a machete..
