The anti-vaxx crowd is destroying our healthcare system's ability to provide care to all. I have a friend in Tyler who had his father die because he couldn't get a hospital bed in time. He spent DAYS in a strip mall emergency clinic waiting for an ICU bed - but they were all filled with Covid patients. And at that time 80% off all Covid patients in the hospital were unvaccinated
Someone else's rights & freedom shouldn't infringe on others
Smokers and the obese may be factored during normal times but not during a pandemic. The point is that we probably don't want hospitals making judgements on a person's lifestyle when determining prioritization for care no matter how ill-informed those lifestyle choices are.
Sorry for your and your friend's loss. My FTD account has worked overtime this past year and a half.
