Do you believe hospitals should deny people healthcare because they are unvaccinated? — NOS4A2
The one vaccinated gets the one bed left, in priority over the other who deliberately chose not to be vaccinated (and may have to be isolated in a hallway, sent home, or whatever) — jorndoe

Why would you discriminate against the unvaccinated and vaccinated, when only the infected pose a risk? — NOS4A2
Beds? It seems to me a moral person would procure more beds before denying people healthcare. — NOS4A2
We’re in the midst of another wave. Where I live, “vaccine passports” have been mandated by the provincial government as an interim solution until the country transitions to a federally compliant proof of vaccine. — NOS4A2

Italy was well known for its universal healthcare system, yet the pandemic proved its flimsiness, with its hospitals unable to provide the basics. Most countries with such systems had to lock down society just to keep them afloat. — NOS4A2
Yes. In some of those countries, doctors and esp. medical nurses have been complaining for years that they are severely understaffed (and underpayed). Even in peace time, the medical system wasn't able to take care of all the people who need medical care in a timely manner. Waiting times are measured in 6-months periods, or even years. For example, you could be having a severe headache for weeks, and have to wait for 6 months to get an MRI (and that would be fast).Italy was well known for its universal healthcare system, yet the pandemic proved its flimsiness, with its hospitals unable to provide the basics. — NOS4A2

Henry Dunant wasn't a doctor and he started the Red Cross. — NOS4A2
If one had to choose between denying people healthcare and procuring more beds, procuring more beds is the moral option. Absent that, give healthcare anyways, on the floor if necessary. That was my only point. — NOS4A2
You’ve taught me nothing — NOS4A2
