Yes.
Excerpt:
Texas doesn’t have statewide guidelines for critical care and triage, which means that caregivers are left to their own local organizing. But tough times like the ones brought on by low vaccination rates and the delta variant require a re-examination of priors. This fourth wave of Covid hospitalizations differs from all the others, because almost everyone who is severely ill is also unvaccinated. In Texas, more than 12,800 people are in the hospital because of Covid-19, and between 93 and 98 percent of them are unvaccinated.
It’s tempting to blame this wave not on the virus but on the people who didn’t get their shots. “This has been bubbling up—this anger, this frustration, this fear, this worry. Every day, we’re seeing the ascent of the curve. Now it’s the steepest it’s ever been,” Fine says. “So I and the other leaders of the task force, we decided, you know, these numbers are not looking good. These questions are coming up."
The law sucks and it's liberal to use that as your yardstick for social problems
And, speaking as someone with autism, it's extremely fucked up to try to police someone based on the way you perceive their emotions, and to continually ascribe feeling to some expression they themselves said don't exist
Beyond that, I know an antivaxer who just died of covid literally yesterday and I can confidently say that nothing of value was lost. People who refuse to get vaccinated at this point are a huge danger to society — for example, my vaccinated grandma who's in the icu on a vent right now, or my severely immunocompromised wife, or my nieces who are starting public school in Florida this week — and the more of them that die, the smaller the chance they'll murder someone I care about or someone else who is willing to take steps to protect others.
I don't think they should get the death penalty for it, but when their antisocial actions push the medical system to the limit, they should absolutely be sent to the back of the line.
