I'm sorry if I sound like one of "those" people who is stopping people from having fun, but there is no way you are going to convince me that the hundreds of thousands of fans gathered for NFL and college football games are all vaxxed and not risking further mutation. I get that it's outside, but again, these people are shoulder to shoulder, maskless, yelling for 2+ hours, going to and from the bathroom, etc. I just really don't understand how the script has flipped so abruptly from "an outside gathering of tens of thousands of people is definitely a super spreader event" to "nahh it's OK because people are outside."
So it seems like we're back to business as usual, and I won't be surprised if we see another mutation. Or who knows, maybe this thing will just fizzle out.
Reading some of those posts, and it's pretty laughable that people can claim doctors have a duty to treat everyone regardless of their decisions
Of course, that would be true anywhere else, but in the US healthcare is clearly a commodity. And rich anti-vaccination republicans get equal (if not better) treatment.
But this is what really gets to me. Health professionals should be free to turn away anyone who has not taken COVID seriously in a country where healthcare is not a right
Triage necessarily comes into effect at some point. The treatment outcomes are better in vaccinated patients than unvaccinated. That makes it legitimate grounds for prioritising care to save the most people. Every person with MAGA Lung is depriving any other patient with any other issue of that bed and the myriad of supplies that go into their care, all for a virus they don't believe in and actively spread as bioterrorists.
Fuck around and find out :covid-cool:
