Why do people who refuse to be vaccinated for covid, then get covid, have priority at our hospitals? Whatever their actual reason, these people get treated, take up space and rooms at hospitals for something that could, for most, have been prevented easily. Because of some people’s vaccination attitudes, a lot of people who need surgery and must be at a hospital are being delayed or postponed because there are no beds available.

Please, people, just get vaccinated to help other people who need to be at the hospital for necessary reasons. The vaccine is easy to get and free. It can save your life and free up space at the hospitals for people who really need to be there. Then get a flu shot.
