Yes - and we've done it during this pandemic (where elderly patients were turfed out to care homes in the first wave, and where various other people had their procedures cancelled because of COVID patients over the first and second / third waves).
The difference with this is that the vast majority of those unvaccinated people taking up space in hospital would not be there if they had the jab. They should still be treated, but if it (again) comes down to cancelling someone's much needed procedure or treating some idiot who thought it was the common cold then I really don't see why the latter should be prioritized.
Informative thread
The vast majority of obese people taking up hospital beds wouldn’t be there if they weren’t obese. Some of them in hospital with covid despite being triple jabbed, because they’re obese. We could go round in circles forever with this one.
So what you're saying is fat people should be forcibly injected with class A drugs until they're super thin? The thread has taken a dark turn I won't lie.
I’m not saying that at all, I’m saying the logic of segregating people out of society because they’re unvaccinated is the same as segregating people out of society because they’re obese. I disagree with both.
I agree the thread has taken a dark turn ever since @Diogenes the Cynic started wishing death upon the human beings for being unvaccinated.
Because it's far more transmissable, the case numbers are alarming and they aren't sure how that will impact the health system in the coming weeks. Like, the messaging isn't particularly unclear
Obese people aren’t contagious. If 100 obese people were admitted to hospital that is 100 people that have to be treated. If 100 covid positive patients were admitted to hospital then the pressure on the NHS increases.
Once again this has been said many times, the vaccines don’t stop you getting covid but they reduce the risk of getting it. And they reduce the risk of needing to go to hospital if you do get it.
Very pleasant to hear, though my stupidity led me to coming very close to googling 'hopium' thinking it was a new anti-viral drug in trial
But if you aren’t at risk of needing to go to hospital in the first place, why do you need to have it? What if you have natural immunity from having the virus too, meaning that you are just as unlikely to catch it as a fully vaccinated person?
What if you've just got big bones?
Having a pea head, balances that out.
Is there a correlation between big bones and heart disease?
