Same. I know it's an immoral thought, but when you realize that them clogging up the hospital system due to selfish reasons is going to cost the lives of people that genuinely need hospital support (like those with cancer), it doesn't feel exactly immoral.

Right now, junkies are being turned out because critically ill people get first priority in triage. No rehab beds. No psyche beds. Very limited trauma beds. No selective surgery. We do not have either staff or equipment or medications for the overflow. The same jackasses who howl about their "freedoms and rights" are the ones howling about how long its taking to get a bed or medication when they're sick.

i hope insurance companies shaft the anti-vaxxers for the covid hospital visits at the very least.
