Fair comparison, except for one point. And that was central in my OP.

When the country opens up, and COVID rips through the unvaccinated as is happening in the US (please check out the links to local news reporting from those states) then hospitals will be overwhelmed. The experience in the US is that narcissistic anti-vaxxers will then take up most emergency beds with preventable illness. And others will not be able to access emergency care and die because of that.

The point you're not getting is that anti-vaxxers are creating a crisis where loss of life will occur. Where doctors will have to make choices. Who gets treatment. Who doesn't.

Anti-vaxxers have a right to health care. They have a right to refuse vaccination. They have a right to then take an emergency bed when they are proven wrong and get sick. They have a right to flood the health care system so others die. But, given they made a conscious choice, is that ethical? Why not pledge to keep to their original choice and not overwhelm the health care system when the time comes.

I notice that most of HotCopper's resident anti-vaxxers have ruled out taking that pledge. Which reveals their true feelings, no matter what anti-vaxx propaganda they vomit here incessantly. They know they could be wrong.

Thats because your assertion for most of us is that we are anti-vaxxer is just a PLAIN STUPID assumption - we are not. Most of us just want more data. Can covid be bad for some - yep but if you do get it and end up in that situation then you want care just like anyone else.
