If an anti-vaxxer dies of COVID, they're getting what they asked for. And really, what's better than someone achieving their goals??? I'm happy for them...

There have always been anti-vaxxers. You know, in our school, my classmates' parents refused to give them bird flu vaccines. I believe such children and people are a danger to others because of their superstition or distrust of the state. During the lockdown, I read my favourite Celebrity News and saw among the celebrities many who called for no vaccine. Nicki Minaj didn't even attend the annual Met Gala because there was a policy mandating that stars get the coronavirus vaccines. People often listen to their idols, and that's detrimental to their health these days, you know. Celebrities need to think about what kind of authority they are.

Unfortunately we aren't allowed

If refusing vaccination is the hill they choose to die on, some are actually dying on that hill. I've seen that in action. That's their choice.

To categorically deny them care under any circumstances would be unnecessarily vindictive and ultimately inflammatory.

But when hospitals are forced to triage, the deliberately unvaxxed really should be taken last.

In that case allow unvaccinated health workers to offer their services.

@puff
In what facility?

@skado Tent city. A MASH unit

@puff

works for me. Good idea.

Why not, @Lorajay ?

@skado unvaccinated healthcare workers carry a larger COVID viral load after exposure than someone who has been vaccinated. We all know that some covid victims are asymptomatic.I seriously doubt an outdoor tent city would have safe air filtration. Medications and many types of medical equipment require temperatures in a certain range therefore they would not be inan open air tent which might save some people. Perhaps you're thinking the patients would all be covid patients. If that were the case the unvacinated workers would very likely soon get covid and be unable to continue working.

I have never heard of a rational reason other than a medical reason that people should not get vaccinated. In our crazy conspiracy theory world many people would never vaccinate without some sort of mandate.

Since vaccinated people are less likely to infect others even though they can still do it, the less likely fact makes it very hard for me to understand why anyone who does not have a physical medical reason to avoidthe vaccination would take a chance on being more infectious and possibly hurting others.

@Lorajay
“ Perhaps you're thinking the patients would all be covid patients.”

That was my assumption. I’m not advocating not getting vaxxed. But there will be some who won’t, including some healthcare workers. I can’t see any reason not to let them treat each other, if separate facilities could be provided, even though that does seem unlikely.

@Lorajay They should be fired.

Good thing Howard stern has no political power.

Tejas Level 8 Jan 17, 2022

Good thing you don't have any political power.

@barjoe maybe I will one day. Still young enough to do whatever I please.

@Wangobango3 it's cute that a grown ass old man is typing to me like a sassy 13 year old girl. Man up and speak your opinion like an adult, I don't care to read into passive aggressive child like comments.

@Tejas Stern has 20 million followers. You are a follower. Not a leader. You never will be, even if you live to be 100.

@barjoe anyone can get a mass following, its not an accomplishment by any degree. Only an idiot can't see that.

@Tejas Would that be a blind idiot?

I'm amazed that Howard Stern said this. As a buddy of Dumpsterfire Donnie I'd think he was an antivaxxer and no holds barred treatment especially if it was not endorsed by modern medicine. I guess miracles can still happen... Or am I thinking of some other radio personality? I don't follow the "celebrity" news very much.

Back when Howard Stern was chummy with Trump, so was Oprah Winfrey, Bill and Hilary, Jess Ventura. Back I the 90s, before he became a Russian Asset. Back when Alan Dershowitz was still a liberal. Howard is not a Trump Supporter.

@barjoe Good to know.

No one should be denied hospital care... Or should they? They are utter hypocrites for going to a hospital. But truly, their values are so completely despicable... Could we just fly them to Christian Fascist Hungary?

No, they'll just stay in Christian Fascist USA.

Yes. I don't really gloat over their death so much as I just don't care about their life. We all get the consequences of our values and actions, this is Zen, and resistance to that is futile.
