Should the unvaccinated not be treated in the hospitals? Why?

Everyone who requires medical treatment should get it. But if a hospital is running at 100% capacity, I wouldn’t give the unvaccinated priority over other patients. Unless they had a legitimate reason for not being vaccinated.

@ScottR An independent journalist busted a NY hospital who claimed to be over capacity with covid...So he went to their emergency intake area and all the special tents they had set up. Not a doctor or nurse in sight and not a patient anywhere...but they had millions in new equipment set up stating they were at capacity and needing extra funds.

@ScottR how about we give the vaccinated lowest priority when they go to hospital for anything virus related?

After all, they're supposedly immune, and the democrats claim there are no side effects... 🙄

@ScottR Your comment implies that vaccinated individuals are also needing treatment for the virus, which is actually happening. Some people need to let that one sink in just a bit.

@TexChik I do like me some Candace Owens.

@ScottR there’s little to no valid reason not to be vaccinated.

@Lykos Yes, the vaccine is supposed to protect people from COVID-19, not to make you invulnerable to everything else and immortal. Vaccinated people will still need hospitals.

As a plus, V.E. against hospitalisation is something like 98%, an unlucky 2% of vaccinees may still need to be hospitalised if they contract covid (I'm guessing especially the immunocompromised, elderly et al)

@justanothername according to you? I have one friend that died from blood clots and an associate that had a stroke from the vaccine. This vax has the highest morbidity and mortality rate of any vaccine ever. When the FDA, CDC, Congress, the white house, NIH, and illegals dont have to take it, then we shouldnt either
@Lykos Vaccinated individuals who get CoViD badly enough to go to the hospital are NOT many, and treatment IS effective--they don't die.

UNvaccinated individuals who get CoViD badly enough to go to the hospital ARE many, and the treatment MAY NOT be effective--you CAN die.

And even if you don't die, you can be a "long-hauler"...so those will be far more UNvaccinated, another cost.

@SomeMichGuy We don't know yet if vaccines protect from long-covid, or how much, on the other hand, unfortunately.
@Elessar Yes, but there is no reason to suspect it is preferentially worse, right?

Even if the rate is as bad as that for the unvaccinated, the overwhelming # of new cases coming from the ranks of the unvaccinated should swamp the number of long-haulers due to CoViD.

That was my point, though clear data would be great.
