Yep thats right, if you refuse to get vaccinated and you get extremely ill because of covid, you should be denied ER/hospital care. I keep seeing on the news all these areas that their hospitals are getting overwhelmed so badly there are no more beds or enough staff to man beds and they are having to turn other people away that have other emergencies/problems because there is no room, because all these morons attend motorcycle conventions without vaccines or masks and then get covid.

Thats just crap. Some elderly person has a heart attack and can't get treatment or delayed treatment that could cost them their lives because of some dumb anti-vaxxer gets sick. No, let the anti-vaxxer deal with it themselves they can go shoot up animal dewormer or pray to their Trump god and let the heart attack victim get the bed.

As much as that's a terrible reflection of what anti-vaxx idiots are doing to the people around them, I can't help but feel like part of the problem there was negligence on the part of the medivac team. There's no reason they couldn't have determined whether or not there were ICU beds available while they were en route to that hospital, and detoured to a different hospital that wasn't at capacity.

The really annoying part is that, if it does, that'll likely just galvanize the anti-vaxxers that are raging against governmental overreach, rather than encouraging them to get the shot.

We don't have socialized medicine. That's the point - that your political priorities are causing problems on the front end and the back end of our medical system. And so we find ourselves in a system that is breaking down.

Systems theory tells us that as a system reaches zero slack time the time to service approaches infinity. Private health care by its very definition measures success by reducing slack. Now it's all broken and you're going to cast aspersions on a system that doesn't even exist. It's like when Texas froze over and they're all blaming the Green New Deal - a two-page document which serves only as a declaration. Pathetic.

I made a whole topic about how vaccinated individuals are contributing to the vaccine hesitancy of others. It got a lot of posts but I dont think any of them even were humble enough to admit how their actions and behaviors were affecting this whole situation.

They should use reverse psychology and tell conservatives they aren't allowed to get the vaccine.

that's a good thing actually. i think you shouldn't be able to do things the same way as the rest of us if you're refusing the vaccine when you can get it. it's ultimately your choice, but nobody should have to cater to you for it

My wife died because all hospital beds at our local hospital were full in 2017 due to the flue (they even had a satalite center they set up, which was also full). It took a week before they transfered her to Oregon (portland) good samaritain hospital, and in that time she developed an infection in her heart that eventually killed her.

So it's not just covid, we flat out need more freaking hospitals and have for awhile.

Covid is just showing how bad that need is.

As far as not treating people who don't get the vaccine, i would prioritize others first, and leave x amount of beds free for people in emergency situations who were vacinated (use them, but if someone needs it the person using the bed is bumped).

The hospital can still try and keep them alive/help them, and have a satalite center like Saint Peters did, but if that fills up and you were not vaccinated, it's on you, and not on the person who was vaccinated that needs that bed.

I didn't take a stance though.

My 'stance' is that you should get vaccinated; but these insane fanatics who are basically demanding that people don't have a choice and treating people who don't get vaccinated like a lesser caste of human are both insane and wrong. Plus the government has been acting like right tyrannical dictators across the world regarding this and I don't think that even half the things places like NYC are doing are even remotely acceptable.

How often do any of those poor choices result in other people dying because there are no ICU beds available for them thanks to all the people that made poor choices? Specifically, because those people all made one particular poor choice that's very, very easy to not make.

So it's not just covid, we flat out need more freaking hospitals and have for awhile.
Hospitals are encouraged to turn a higher profit by utilizing sub-optimal ratios of staff to beds to patients even in times when there isn't a plague making rounds. This is also an issue in institutions like nursing homes, assisted living facilities, etc, where the staff gets their hours cut if the facility isn't near the maximum capacity of residents (this all interferes with quality of care, btw), which can cause the staff to lose their benefits.

If people want more functional health care facilities, systems need to remove the incentive to cut corners in terms of capacity and staffing and make medical education more affordable.

I'm sorry for your loss.

We're up to 35 positive cases at my workplace due to one anti-vax/anti-mask person and we had another death. Obesity isn't contagious. Anti-vax/Anti-mask people are choosing to behave in a way that endangers every other person they come in contact with. Your comparison is rather weak.

It's more comparable to... if we had a sudden barrage of drunk driving accidents all over the country. There's not capacity for all the people injured in the crashes, so do you triage based purely on need or do you factor into account whether or not the injured person was one of the drunk assholes who caused the injuries in the first place?

For the record, medical ethics says need, though insurance companies don't always agree.

The vaccine crowd has it right but really they should be doing more to limit the strain on the hospital system. Like we already have the vaccine so we shouldn't really need it for covid. Its time to step up and not step off of any particularly high curbs. Or have mom cut your spaghetti so you're less likely to choke. Have mom stop dressing you so your less likely to get beat up.

For many of those issues though, there is an underlying issue, often things like depression cause people to drink, drugs or eat. In the case of smoking, drinking and drugs actual dependency forms and addiction starts. In the case of eating, eating is a tricky one since one has to eat and if you have a food disorder it is nearly as hard to break as a drug dependent addiction.

Not getting a vaccine is none of those, its sheer stupidity. So there is a key difference. Furthermore none of those are over filling our hospitals since most of those are slow killers. Slowly degrading the body over years.

They are not close to the same thing, Covid is a quicker killer and someone getting covid is also a danger to others, someone having diabetes and obesity does not.

So please stop trying to compare a Covid/Vaccine situation to other health issues in the country, this is a different situation entirely.

One of the things a person that doesn't get the vaccine is going to find is that their cost of getting covid and ending up in the hospital is going to be much higher then if they had gotten the vaccine. Insurance companies have decided to make those people pay much more.

I don't think outright denying unvaccinated people care is reasonable, but I do think there's a need to cap the percentage of ICU's that are available for voluntarily unvaccinated Covid patients. Treat as many as possible, sure, but resources are limited and voluntarily unvaccinated Covid patients are pretty unquestionably less deserving of those resources than pretty much any other would-be ICU patient, so enough ICU beds to handle typical demands should be reserved for those other patients. Nobody should be made to die because of these idiots, because that's exactly what's going to keep happening.

People react to vaccines differently and no one knows what reaction may come with being vaccinated until they get the vaccine.

Personally, I think people should choose if they want to get the vaccine or not much the way we choose whether or not we want a flu shot.

Each one of us is responsible for our own health and that means we have to make choices good or bad on what's right for us individually in regards to our own health.

If they force us to get vaccinated, who knows what they may try to force on us in the future.
