Unvaxxed in hospitals

Unvaccinated COVID patients are filling hospital beds and ICUs, requiring the full attention of doctors and nurses, while using valuable, specialized medical equipment and expensive medications. Meanwhile, people with other serious medical conditions are being turned away or face lengthy delays and extended pain and suffering.

There’s a simple solution. No vaccine means no admittance and no treatment, a policy that should be welcomed by vaccine refusers. After all, if you refuse vaccination because you have no faith in modern medicine, why would you want to go to a hospital? If you’re antimask and anti-vax to show your independence, self-reliance and freedom, then won’t your personal medical staff be treating you in the private ICU? If you claim a religious exemption, why would you want hospital doctors and nurses to fight divine destiny? And, if you believe that COVID isn’t real, then you’ll never need a hospital, as no one has ever died from a hoax.
