Re: Withholding treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re one of those “medical professionals” who believes one can make a medically-ethical case for withholding treatment to the unvaccinated, then where do you stop?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Smokers? I mean, the warnings have been out there for decades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The obese? It’s not like they don’t know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addicts of all kinds? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Diabetics who haven’t been enthusiastic enough in their regimen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motorcycle riders? I mean, they don’t call a two-wheel endorsement a “donor card” for nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump voters? After all, they are responsible for all the world’s ills, in some of your worldviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or maybe Republicans in general?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pick a line, and tell us why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonus question: as government takes over more and more of healthcare, even if society doesn’t go single-payer, can you see where this particular set of “medical” judgments turning into policy could turn into a very bad thing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just curious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is all. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
