Should Hospitals have the right to turn away Covid patients from those who have chosen to be unvaccinated?

Why should someone who makes the decision to not be vaccinated take a bed and be treated from someone who has taken precautions and had a breakthrough case?
Shouldn't the unvaccinated just stay home and deal with this virus on their own?

Should hospitals also deny their help to drunk people who got themselves hurt due to their actions or should they ''just stay home and deal with that on their own''?
Should everyone be treated equal or should they make list of who gets a bed first? (You should know young people usually go up on those.)
My thought it you're being paranoid but I don't know whether your fear is justified.

Also, don't unvaccinated people get worse symptoms than vaccinated ones? Meaning, they might need help more?
The vaccines haven't been fully tested (and with anti-vax movement from a few years ago) they had to put it optional in most of the places. There is triage, when the hospitals are full so they have to choose who they'll cure but as long as there's a possibility in helping someone, should we deny them help?

@Melpomene Yes the unvaccinated do have worse symptoms, but since they chose not to have a vaccination because of "their freedom" or we don't know what is in it, it isn't FDA approved, well, the treatment also isn't FDA approved, so why would they all of a sudden be willing to be treated?

@independentone Interesting. And what about what I said in the first paragraph?

@independentone I love freedom and I might also be immune (recovered from GI covid in 5/20) and have the right to know if the vaccine will just be overkill or even counterindicated, and until I learn all about that I know I am ok now, no thanks to the system, and thats my choice so far.

@Elevatorpitches That is your choice, but I'm not sure I agree, I just don't ever want to be responsible for maybe passing it on to someone else.
