I agree wholeheartedly with you, but we might be in a position where healthcare is not for all, like we had in the first wave.
A good example is my neighbour, Anne, who had severe Covid in the first wave (and has COPD), ox sats went down to 70% but couldn't get admitted to hospital because not enough beds. She was told that she was unlikely to survive and that she should prepare to die at home. She gathered her kids round and drifted off for 72 hours. As it happens, she somehow pulled through (after eventually being admitted and spending some time in a coma. )
I feel for people like Anne.
(heavily abridged story btw, lots of nuance lost there, but the headline of the story is representative).

Yeah, that fucking sucks and I'd agree that if you've got two people lined up waiting for the same bed for the same Covid based treatments choose the vaccinated one, practically I don't see anyone getting thrown out of a bed for someone else or denied treatment whilst waiting for the possibility of a vaccinated person needing it.

Limiting healthcare based on having been jabbed is dangerous. Once you start basing triage during crises on who should get what help when, the next step after things get back to normal is to look at smokers, people with alcohol problems, etc
Our healthcare is based around everyone getting access, and the other people sucking up the disproportionate costs associated with when people make life 'choices'.

This seems worse to me than vaccine mandates, I've no problem withholding access to pubs or clubs or whatever if you choose not to vaccinate or test first, but healthcare should very much be for all no matter what, even if you're a stupid cunt.
