True, and that is what was happening in Italy during wave 1 (the triage on likely outcome - they did not have to take into consideration vaccination status), absolutely awful.
But triage during crises like that is slightly different from saying that regardless of circumstances certain people won't get the help they need (in this case the unjabbed for covid, but once that can of worms is opened a smoker would get no help when lung cancer, an alcoholic would get no help with liver complications, an lfgss member is a cyclist so no help with collar bone fractures).
If only the Raedwalds of this world would get jabbed so we don't have the situation where we don't have enough capacity for people like Anne...

If, on the other hand, you simply don't have enough resources for everyone you may well have to triage based on likely outcome. And people who have been vaccinated are likely to have a better outcome, even if they do require hospitalisation.
