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.

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).
