This is so, so dumb.
1. People who are vaccinated are not dying from Covid.
2. The whole point of restrictions was to stop people who don't want to die from dying. This has been accomplished.
3. Everyone over the age of 12 can get a vaccine, and has had that opportunity for months.
4. People under the age of 12 aren't dying of Covid.
5. People who choose not to be vaccinated and contract Covid have made their choice. They're dumb, but it's their problem. We don't owe them anything.
Therefore
6. Lift all the restrictions. The pandemic is functionally over. The unvaccinated can face their fate alone.
Also, by 'we don't owe them anything' do you mean that they should either not be admitted into a hospital, or that, at the very least, they have to pay the full cost of their own medical treatment?
It means that we shouldn't force the unvaccinated to be safe at the expense of the vaccinated. Obviously, they should have access to medical treatment. But returning to mask mandates or (God forbid) shutdowns to keep people who choose to be unsafe safe just isn't fair to the rest of us. I'm not going to inconvenience myself for those who won't get the shot.
Why should they have access to medical treatment?
should the motorcycle rider have access to medical treatment after a crash? Smokers? Fatties? Rock climbers? Should other groups of people who knowingly do things that are more likely to put them in the hospital not have access to medical treatment? or just groups of people you don't like for political reasons?
