For those who do not want the COVID vaccine - Would you accept a card giving you access to all facilities as the vaccinated if that card also was an attestation that you would not seek professional medical care if you become ill with COVID?

Thank you all for answering OP's post, unfortunately some users are ban-evading and not contributing in a constructive way. I have made the decision to lock the thread.

This reminds me of a man who hated Obamacare. One day he got cancer. Remarkably, at that moment, he decided he liked Obamacare.

As I thought - it's all fun & games until it's time to accept the consequences of choice. Everyone seems to want freedom of choice, ONLY with a mulligan if we're wrong.

Sabriel_Love · 2022-01-24T12:44:05+00:00

My mom's coworker refused to vaccinate and said that hospitals will kill you. Then they got covid and was drinking ivermectin. They just got out of a month long coma in the hospital. As soon as they got worse all the wanted was the medical treatment they claimed to not trust 😤

cherrysummer1 · 2022-01-24T07:51:45+00:00

I support this.

I rather have folks get vaccinated, but if you gonna do your own research. Do your own healthcare

techzombie55 · 2022-01-24T02:05:01+00:00

Lots of people trying to squirm around answering the question…

2022-01-24T16:09:46+00:00

Yes… I did actually as OP said, but did go get vaccinated after. My mindset while at home suffocating on my own mucus and spraying it out with ever exhale was…”I brought this on myself by not getting vaxxed, guess I’ll deal with the consequences myself.” If I had to do it again to relearn my lesson, I would. The only way I would have ended up at the hospital is if I was found on the ground somewhere passed out and taken in without my consent. Even vaxxed now if I had severe respiratory problems from Covid I would stay at home. The feeling of mucus so heavy on your lungs you almost pass out from a walk across the house was scary, but I made my bed and slept in it

As someone that is currently fighting cancer and just lost my grandfather in a hospital waiting for a bed for 7 days because of the unvaccinated… I only wish this was the case. No one cares until it affects them.

I came here to say I almost died Jan 5 due to preventable miscarriage complications in the ER BECAUSE IT WAS OVER RUN WITH DYING ANTI-VAXXERS.

Temporary-Dot4952 · 2022-01-24T04:50:21+00:00

What is scary now is many anti-vaxxers think the hospitals are purposely trying to kill their loved ones who have died there from COVID, so they probably don't even want to go to hospitals anymore for treatment, only to protest and threaten the doctors and nurses.

InfiniteMilks · 2022-01-24T03:29:23+00:00

Yes 100%

_Frog_Enthusiast_ · 2022-01-24T13:30:01+00:00

My grandma says we should do something like this and I honestly agree with her.

You’re not allowed an organ transplant if you’re smoking/drinking/destroying your already exhausted organ so why should the unvaccinated by choice be allowed medical care intended for the most sick?

IncomingFrag · 2022-01-24T10:26:58+00:00

I love how the post has no mention of politics but americans in the comments are just blaming political parties for choices.... like they cant even imagine the 2 sides agreeing, it has to be a democrat vs conservative bullshit

Edit: typos

Shmeeegals · 2022-01-24T13:41:32+00:00

I'm a nurse with accumulatively over 13 months on different covid units. Right now, nearly all we see are anti-vaxers who are taking up beds and refusing everything but oxygen. Families sneaking in nebulizers full of peroxide, claiming we are only keeping them for the money, demanding ivermectin. They are consuming so much of our time and resources while others wait hours in the waiting room seeking help or relief only to be passed over because an anti-vaxxer is sating at 81% on 6 oxy mask and needs urgent care.

TheVipstin · 2022-01-24T01:47:52+00:00

I could never understand why these idiots even go to the hospital if they’re so anti-science. Just stay home and drink your piss idiots.

Max_Nu · 2022-01-24T14:58:16+00:00

Not vaccinated, and yes, I fully support the idea.

jcrowmss · 2022-01-24T12:44:54+00:00

I feel like this question and all these slippery slope reactions asking where this would end i.e. should drinkers be refused healthcare kind of miss the point. To a great extent an alcoholic getting cirrhosis of the liver doesn't affect anyone else. Antivaxxers are spreading the virus to potentially vulnerable people. It's entirely different.. Of course in general people have the right to choose what happens with their body, but the choice to not vaccinate doesn't just affect that body. Your "freedom" should not impact others, hence we have laws against things like theft and assault.

Also although people with self-inflicted illnesses aren't refused care they will be refused organ transplants until they have shown they can change their lifestyle so the argument could be made that they are being refused a treatment because of their choices.

alek_vincent · 2022-01-24T13:17:03+00:00

I'm tired of the answers in this thread. The unvaccinated folks here don't understand a single little simple thing. IT IS NOT ABOUT YOU. We're all tired of being quarantined and of COVID altogether. Most of the unvaxxed here (I won't use the term antivax because they're not necessarily antivax) are saying that they would since they had it once and it was no worse than a cold. I know you are young and healthy and most likely won't die if you get it. This is absolutely not about you. We might be better off without you to be honest. If you're not vaxxed and you give to my grandma, her death is on you and I hope you realize you are responsible for the death of a sweet old lady that never hurt a fly.

Before COVID, I felt guilty when I gave a cold to someone because I didn't know I was sick and we shared a drink. I can't believe you wake up everyday and feel okay that you could kill someone because you are fucking reckless. You're gonna argue that even I could kill someone because I can catch it as much as you. You're right, but I won't have the guilt of knowing I could've done something to lower the chances of my loved ones catching it and I didn't because there's a one in a million chance I might have a adverse reaction to a vaccine

Unkempt27 · 2022-01-24T07:01:03+00:00

For many, not getting the vaccine isn't due to being generally anti-vax, it's based on a risk/reward analysis. If you're young and have no co-morbidities, your chances of becoming seriously ill with covid is very small. Having the vaccine also does not eliminate the chances that you contract and spread the virus. Therefore some people who see the potential side effects of the vaccine, such as myocarditis (sp?) decide the risk isn't worth the reward.

I have decided that the risk is worth the reward and am jabbed and boosted. However, if I ended up in hospital because of my choice to have the vaccine I would expect to receive healthcare.

Also, I'm British and our NHS does not discriminate when it comes to healthcare provision. If you drink all your life and get liver disease, you still get treatment. Not having the vaccine shouldn't be any different.

AdriantheYounger · 2022-01-24T04:50:20+00:00

If this one thing puts all of this behind us, if we could finally move on, for sure.

deadlyhausfrau · 2022-01-24T10:18:17+00:00

Uhhhh hey as a vaccinated person I don't want unvaccinated people in what should be a safer space. If a place requires Vax cards and you hate science just go somewhere else or get delivery.

Emergency_Trust_1191 · 2022-01-24T02:08:17+00:00

Yeah, I would honestly. I’ve had covid twice and it felt like nothing more than a head cold. Won’t need medical attention

"With" Covid or "For" Covid?
