Whether people agree with you or not isn't the real issue here IMO. If this approach were to be adopted, it would be up to the physicians and other front-line workers to make the prioritization call, which adds too much of a burden to them.
- xvector 5y agoSure, and it's probably against policy, the Hippocratic Oath, etc. But if you talk to nurses, visit r/nursing, etc - the sentiment is clear. Front line workers are sick of having to prioritize antivax bed-wasters over people with real issues.
- iab 5y agoI actually agree with the sentiment, but there is just no way to realistically apply this. There will always be a significant number of people in the "gray" zone (can't get vaccinated because of some other health condition, as a simple example) and so the burden of determining who is "good" and who is no tis on the already over-burdened staff. This is why triage has historically been, and will conceivably always be, the way hospitals adjudicate care .
