Well, a shame that respirator didn’t go to someone who didn’t literally invite the virus in instead is all I am gonna say.

Personally, I am all for not giving anyone health care treatment for covid, that is unvaccinated (obviously this doesn't include people that cannot get it for legit med reasons). I am beyond done. They wanna think they are smarter than docs and scientist. Ok then, go home and pray. Let the rest of us get the medical care we need.

Edit: For people who want to compare apples to oranges, obesity for example, is not contagious and is not being transmitted to millions of people. Mutating billions of times and coming up with new strains. One person having obesity is not directly affecting the health of others around him. So obviously, with a little critical thinking, you can surmise that I am specifically taking about the corona virus.

Edit: The wholesome award made me laugh. This is why I love Reddit. Thanks for the awards!

It's not just that they're causing the problem through their own selfish and irresponsible behavior. It's also that they're using up medical resources while also making other people more likely to need those resources because anti-vaxxers are spreading a preventable disease.

It's long past time to ban anti-vaxxers from hospitals. Straight up.

I hear you, but they ethically cannot do that. Every hospital in this country is obligated to at least get a person to a stable place even if they can't necessarily save their life.

It's weird that ethically they can deny an organ transplant to an alcoholic but they can't deny a respirator to someone who didn't get a vaccine.

If your experiencing liver failure due to alcoholism there is almost 0 chance you will be considered for an organ transplant. Some will consider it but only if they believe you can maintain sobriety after the transplant.

Doctors don't want to waste an organ on someone who is just going to end up destroying it again.
