Elective Disease

[Revoltingest]

Thankfully you are not, then. If you lack compassion or care for others, stay out of the healthcare industry. There's enough people working in it who have no business doing so. But thanks for letting us know what sort of person you really are.

So those with compassion....they have it for unvaxed
Covid 19 patients, who get higher priority. Everyone
else waits, eh.
Anti-vaxers have even less compassion. They take
risks with the health of others, but want priority when
they overload hospitals.

BTW, I know what kind of person you are.
But I don't use that as an insult.

I find this statement disturbing. Such a lack of empathy for anyone that is dying is appalling.

I clarified my position if that helps.

 

[Quetzal]

Yikes, this thread turned personal real quick.

Restricting medical care based on someone electing to not get vaccinated is morally wrong and inhumane.

What about their behavior causing care to be restricted
to others? Anti-vaxers talk about caring...but only for
themselves.

Well, you're saying I should be denied healthcare. How can I not take that personally? Maybe don't make threads and posts like this if you don't want it to turn personal, since you are talking about your fellow board members? It just ends up being nasty and offensive whenever these threads come up. RF should probably ban them, like they ban the disgusting posts openly gloating over unjabbed people dying.

 

[Quetzal]

I'll be frank, that's sick and twisted logic.
Let's not let the smoker be treated for cancer either?
Can you say "slippery slope"?
Doctors are there to treat whoever needs it.

The difference is with other diseases, they usually don't impact others around them as aggressively. COVID is unique in that way. When someone makes a choice to refuse the vaccination it puts other people in mortal danger.

Nah....it waited til the 2nd page.
That's pretty good for RF.

I think it is safe to assume that the OP did not make this post with you in mind.

That's an over-simplified misrepresentation of my posts.
It's about priority.
Anti-vaxers with Covid 19 chose the disease...elective disease.
They just don't deserve priority over others in need.

Oh, so LGBT members can breathe a sigh of relief when posts and threads are made that attack them in general.

And I said it's based on need and severity of illness. If an unjabbed person is sicker than a jabbed person, why prioritize the jabbed person, if not for spitefulness?

We are not discussing LGBT in this thread, I do not see the relevance of your post.

Of course not.

Of course not.

You are compounding multiple issues. It clouds the discussion.

I encourage you not to take these things personally. If you feel that you have been the target if a misguided comment, I would be happy to discuss and apologize as necessary.

Applying a demonizing label of “anti-vaxer” serves no purpose. There are foolish and wise among both the vaccinated and unvaccinated.

I am curious. What do you think is a wise argument against the vaccine? (Save for medical complications due to allergic reactions, etc.)

You're mis-stating things.
Hospitals are over-whelmed by anti-vaxers.
I argue that they shouldn't get priority.
They argue they should get priority over others.
This is wrong (IMO).

"Sick & twisted" is choosing elective disease,
& wanting priority over all others. Why do
they deserve this?

Yes, don't take it personally when people say a group you're part of should be denied medical care.
