Perhaps, it is time to take a new tact.
Society only has limited hospital resources and perhaps those resources are being misapplied to the wrong patients. Perhaps we need to treat adults who have refused to be vaccinated against Covid the same way people who have signed a Do Not Resuscitate document. Treat them as if they have stated that they wish to be allowed to die. Resources, such as hospital beds and doctor and nurse care is limited. Perhaps the priorities need to shift to those who need them and truly want them. In the choice between treating a broken arm or a person who has Covid because they have never had any vaccination, the broken arm victim should get the treatment. The non-vaccinated adult has already agreed by theirs actions to die. Hospital resources are being wasted on treating all who come down with Covid as if they were equal. They are not. Those who have done something to protect themselves by getting vaccinated deserve attention and care, those who have not chosen to be vaccinated have chosen to die. We should just let them die. That is their choice and they should bare the responsibility for that choice. All efforts have been made to make the vaccines available to them and they have chosen the equivalent of a "Do Not Resuscitate" order. They have refused care and treatment and we should respect their wishes and allow them to die. Spend limited hospital resources on those who need and want our help.

Gary Jaron's musings.
In my High School Art Department someone had made an ornate sign on hung it on the wall that read: 'Ignore this sign completely.' A paradox couched in sarcasm and irony. This blog is for random musings on anything and everything that comes into my head. Archives
