It's toxic because it is politically weaponising the ill health of a now vulnerable man.
It's unhelpful because there is no answer to the question. It plays on fears and a politically convenient distortion of reality. We will never know if the saintly and deserving archetype blue collar working man / women who didn't get treatment because Boris did exists and we'll never know if they were deserving enough, either. (in reality, they probably didn't exist, but theoretically, maybe they did? There is always someone more deserving than insert person here). But it opens up all kinds of pandoras boxes that we cannot hope to resolve here whilst potenitally stoking the rumour mill. That sounds like a net loss to me.
It's also disingenuous and displays a remarkable lack of (or perhaps wilful?) understanding of the reality on the ground - these kinds of decisions about who receives what kind of treatment are made all the time and will continue to be made all the time. Our society is not a classless one of infinite time and resources.

Toxic how? It’s a fair question it should be asked.
Unhelpful how? What would be helpful, posting nothing? Neither action has any effect on events.
I do t know why people are keen to close down any speculation, this is a chat thread. If you want straight news you have all the usual media outlets.
