I think I speak for almost every doctor when I say care is provided on the basis of medical need

‘However passionately I disagree with a patient’s views or actions – in this pandemic or any other context – I will never deny them care on that basis.’‘However passionately I disagree with a patient’s views or actions – in this pandemic or any other context – I will never deny them care on that basis.’Last modified on Fri 22 Oct 2021 02.39 BSTTo be a patient in here, you must be suffering from Covid-19.

7 billion people on the planet there will always be these people. But they are a tiny percentage

As a nurse you treat everyone in front of you equally, no matter what. However I do take exception to Covid deniers or Anti vaxxers physically coming into the hospital while not ill, to 'serve papers' or protest while we're trying to do our jobs.

What's actually appalling is denying a virus exists, doing everything you can to catch and spread it, then once you're infected, going to the hospital for treatment. That's what is appalling.

It should no longer be a mater of personal choice since the evidence is clear - the unvaccinated are putting the public at risk. Regardless of a doctors responsibility to the public (they should treat based on need) this is no longer a matter of personal freedom.

The unvaccinated 33 yo covid case in QLD, now seriously ill in hospital has antivax material on his Facebook account. He not only has taken a bed in hospital but has potentially influenced other's to not get vaccinated. I'm not saying he shouldn't be treated but...these people 🤬

This position is what I would want and expect from doctors. As a tax payer, this seems a noble view. We restrict and prohibit other behaviours that led to excessive health risks (smoking, alcohol, etc)…. Why do we allow non-medical exceptions without consequence?

Being sceptical isn't 'denial' - it's just having the wherewithal to wonder if things are exactly as painted when a TV star can catch it and it's a blow for the programme.

Ok find for you and your country.. but here in the US, there are places where the unvaccinated are taking up so many beds that it is preventing trauma victims, cancer, and chronic patients, the elderly, etc from getting care they need!

yes it is but it perfectly exposed the mentality and feigned empathy of our supposedly compassionate and moral superiors.

They should have a free cruise ship so they can all die gasping their last breath together. Enough with coddling the selfish, unvaccinated.

He's wrong. They choose to get ill

I totally agree that if they are so passionate about denying covid they should sign a DNT ( DO NOT TREAT ) Remember that some people refuse blood donations because of deeply held beliefs. I do not see any difference here.

When resources are scarce... It brings out the worse in human nature. Covid has done that. Climate change is next.... Imagine lack of water food and no home.... Not a good propect for humanity regardless.

What about the people who didn't get medical care for other diseases because of these covid deniers? Is it fair for people who followed the rules be excluded to make room for the rule breakers?

wow

One of the best things I love about investing with Lisahawthorrne is that you only see positive results and see good winnings at all times from the team. Just hard work, passion and maximize the profits as it should be.

They should have stayed at home. We only hear their voice and their disdain. mediocracy
