First, thank you. I feel like this is an opportunity to clarify in a thread of rationality vs. getting accused of bad faith... I never made the claim that they shouldn't treat unvaccinated patients: > And, I think it's an ethically defensible position to not treat people who refuse to get vaccinated... even though it will never happen. And specifically to the parent comment I was agreeing to the following (quoting parent): > It's unconscionable to take a hospital bed away from someone who needs it, because you refuse to take your medicine, with predictable consequences. Although maybe it's not my best self showing here - but I do feel angry toward people taking those hospital beds away. And I was very specifically agreeing that "It's unconscionable to take a hospital bed away from someone who needs it [...]" I have friends/family who are suffering real consequences of hospitals being overrun with largely unvaccinated people... --- Overall, I don't think "ethically defensible position" is equivalent to "they should not treat unvaccinated people" - yeah I guess this can be seen as "walking it back" but overall I did not mean to outright state we shouldn't treat the unvaccinated. Sure - it comes from a place of frustration. But I don't think I'm alone in thinking about these things. Sorry if this is off-base.
