CMV: voluntarily unvaccinated people should be given the lowest priority for hospital beds/ventilators

I firmly believe that healthcare should be denied to no one regardless of their economic or social conditions.

However, what boils my blood the most is that we have so many perfectly good vaccines against Covid that are readily available and accessible in most first-world countries, and yet people refuse to take them.

If you have the chance to take a vaccine and still don’t, then whatever happens when you get Covid is on YOU.

YOU are being a burden on an already overloaded (in some places) healthcare system, which could have been avoided by taking a goddamn shot.

To allege that it is all a ‘conspiracy’ by (insert ‘Fauci’, ‘Bill Gates’, ‘Communists’, whatever other figure the right likes to bash) is irresponsible and poses a danger not only to themselves, but to the community at large (as more cases = more risk of mutation = more new variants = less effective vaccine)

EDIT: I don't think all the obese/smokers/alcoholics arguments work, because:-   fixing all of those conditions entails significant lifestyle changes as opposed to vaccination, which is a one-off event.- they don't directly affect anyone other than that specific person.- they take up a maximum of one bed, as opposed to covid patients, who can infect others and lead to more people taking up beds.

Hospitals operate under the principle that what constitutes urgency is need, not culpability. If two patients come in from a car crash, the responsible one barely alive, ribs shattered, organs haemorrhaging while the innocent party has a sprained wrist and mild whiplash, you don't treat the innocent one first because he's not culpable, you treat the culpable one first because his need is more dire. That way, overall more lives are saved (this principle is the guiding philosophy of triage which is a protocol which saves a shitload of lives) and you remove personal value judgements of blame as a factor in doctor's actions, which is a bias nobody want healthcare professionals to be influenced by.
