It's not fair that someone might wait for surgery they need because an unvaccinated Covid patient is using a bed in an UCI, but the reality is that in that precise moment, the unvaccinated Covid patient needs the bed more.
I do not want to live in a world where my medical treatment hangs in a balance of my moral worthiness. In a past era, someone might well have argued that gay AIDS patients don't deserve to fill up an ICU because of risky lifestyle choices they made. We might feel moral clarity now, but that clarity rarely stands the test of time. Medical care should *always* be impartial except in the most extenuating circumstances.
Innocent people? Guilty people? No one has broken any laws. This sort of inflammatory rhetoric *is* harmful.
