Sad to say this!

No unvaccinated person over 18 should be given hospitalization nowadays. They have been warned and begged to receive the vaccine. If they get seriously ill that requires hospitalization, they should not receive any additional treatment but cold medicine.

Those under 18, should receive the treatment.

Don't like to say it and I don't want to wish it.

Stupidity goes only so far and responsible individuals pay the consequences of ignorance.

Like to see in 2022, hospitals turn away those who seek their services. It would send a message, get vaccinated!

1. They used to turn people away if they had no money...

I guess actual life is cheaper than that these days but it makes sense. Rights and freedom come with responsibilities. If you can't act responsibly, you have no claim to rights/freedoms.

3. It's not the matter of money, but resources.

People are dying due the unavailability of of simple surgeries. Our resources are tied up for covid patients. Those who took the vaccine and still require additional treatments that was once simple to do are forsaken due those who wish to not prevent serious hospitalization.

Again, they made their choice. It's kinda like running the rail road crossing and got hit by a train. You have been warned to stop at railroad crossings. Therefore you have been warned to get vaccinated.

4. I totally get that it's about resources.

Have a few medical professionals in my immediate family, they are tapped out beyond belief. I was trying to imply that turning people away, due to dwindling resources, isn't the worst or first time that would be done, only it's refusal to do the bare minimum to help yourself rather than lack of money.

I suppose it will come to that eventually. It's starting to seem like a scifi movie lately.

6. A second option...

that they be held personally responsible for all costs associated with their treatment, whether they're insured or not.

The republican party IS the party of personal responsibility, are they not? At least that's what they tell us all the time. Surely, they wouldn't lie to us, right? 😉

10. Seriously.... how will that happen?

Most of vaccinated are responsible. The unvaccinated are not... Therefore, those that are responsible, usually have money. Those that are not responsible, usually blow their money. So, Trump nation of 25 year trucks burning 10 miles per gallon and living in houses that look that needed a roof since their first born, don't have two cents to rub. They rather blow their money to Washington Jan 6 insurrection or trumps pocketbook.

You can't get blood out of a turnip!

just another option for an already hopeless plan.

We're at the point now where we have to throw everything at the wall, and see if anything will stick.

11. Sad to say if it's your child that's a difficult stance

Three of us in our family are vaccinated- one is vehemently against it - he works from home and wears a mask when he goes out - I agree that his choice should not take up a bed in a hospital but he is my son and I worry about his choices: a worried mother posts this

12. Understand and hopefully you could talk sense into him.

I have kids and I understand. Talk to him with reason and find out why. Read up on all angles of their reasons and have that ammunition to throw at him why he needs it or why his reason is flawed.

Tough love!

15. My son was the same way.

The only one in the family who didn’t want to get vaxxed. I didn’t nag, but would ask every so often if he had given it any more thought. I would try to counter his excuses, but still didn’t press.

After awhile, he got this first dose.

Don’t give up on your kid. He can change his mind.

14. Agree. If they reject dr's advice to take the vaccine

they cannot come looking for a dr to save them once they get covid.

We can supply them with a priest, who can read them inspirational verses from the Bible.

Hosea 8-7: "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."

The smokers, the drug users, the alcoholics, et al, to list. See how much sense that makes?

17. It's complicated when it comes down to a family matter

As a parent of a nonvaxxer I accept the consequences of his decisions - it’s not easy but I will live with his decisions - just want people to know it’s heart breaking and not accepted easily
