I feel at this point hospitals should just triage the willfully unvaccinated covid patients behind all other emergencies.
Possibly set aside X number of beds for covid patients, the rest of the ICU beds are for everything else. Out of covid beds? Well you've gotta wait for someone to die and then they'll see you.
They chose to "not live in fear", they can live - and possibly die - with the consequences.

We know eating well works to build and maintain a healthy immune system, and that heart disease and obesity is one major factor to covid hospitalization and death. Could we put put the ones that have decided to stuff their faces with fast and processed foods in the back of the line with all other emergencies?

- deadbolt 5y agoSure, if that becomes necessary due to America's lifestyle, I don't see why not. I'm unaware of that being the current issue though. It seems to me hospitals are overrun with COVID patients, most of them their due to their own unwillingness to get vaccinated.
