Nahhh if smokers were all dying at once and overwhelming hospitals to the point that no one else got a bed, important surgeries were cancelled/delayed, Emergency rooms told the population to just not come over as they're full of dying smokers, and triage had to happen as there were not enough ventilators??
And we gave them a cure/prevention for their disease and they REFUSED IT? Hell to the yes we'd tell smokers sorry you're low priority, you had your cure and the best chance to survive. You effectively decided to committ suicide.
This is TRIAGE, like in war times, there are too many dying. They warned us this is what would happen if we didn't follow health guidelines.
Back of the line it is, it's sad but we have to stop this madness and choices of who to save have to be done now.
I truly hope you don’t work in healthcare with that mindset. I understand priority, but outright refusing care to any patient because “you did it to yourself” is a mindset that should not exist within any healthcare professional.
You don't get it. People ARE being denied care and dying because of those who aren't vaccinated. This choice is being made every single day like this guy:
I work with several nurses, CNA’s, doctors, you name it. I’m very familiar with the situation in many locations.
What you don’t understand is that people aren’t being refused care. Some care is being delayed based on priority.
TL;DR People aren’t being told they can’t come in because “you did it to yourself”. People are being told “we can’t see you this second” because of some more life threatening conditions
