North Texas doctor’s group retreats on policy saying vaccination status to be part of care decisions
This would have been a big change in health care, and it was all outlined in a memo obtained by the Watchdog.
Originally doctors “quietly” came up with a plant that if they ran out of ICU beds that vaccinated patients would get priority.
After this was reported on, the doctors backed down.
Good, but honestly, not good enough.
They never should have come up with this idea to begin with.
I’m telling you, there is going to be a hostage situation in a hospital if this shit continues.
Someone goes to the hospital, maybe for COVID, maybe for a hear attack, maybe for a car accident, who knows. The staff there will check and find out the patient is unvaccinated and then low priority them.
Sure, they may be bleeding internally after a collision but isn’t COVID more of a threat than a ruptured spleen? And if an unvaccinated person dies because they were given a lower priority, isn’t that their fault for being a COVID denying untermensch?
This will happen and an angry husband and/or father will seek treatment for their wife/child at the point of a gun.
And I will have no sympathy for any medical staff who were ventilated at high velocity.
Making medical staff into arbiter of who lives and who dies based on social status is amongst the worst things that society can do.
We must be able to trust out doctors because we put out lives in their hands.
When doctors decide that “those people” don’t deserve the same level of care because they are “the other” then that trust is destroyed and bad things will happen.
The medical community made the right decision this time because of public pressure after a good newspaper reported on it.
But the medical community better get its head on straight before shit goes south.
The fact that they even considered this policy, let alone adopted it for a while, indicates the majority is ethically defective.
Dr. Mengele would be proud.
Quacks start enforcing that crap, we’ll soon have a serious shortage of quacks. You kill mine, I wipe your gene line out.
Last I checked, hospital security staff won’t protect you off hospital grounds. The people you just told the hospital won’t treat or prioritize treatment on their family member because of vaccination status, they got a real good look at your face and they know where you work. It’s as if these people think hospital policy will save them from the real world.
Never underestimate a righteous liberal. In their minds, it’s not discrimination if its for the greater good. And the left sure does like being on the side of the greater good. Collectivism and all that stuff.
This is conditioning people to accept whatever the government mandates without question, and to sow distrust between people. Brainwash folks into not trusting their neighbors over a “deadly” disease, and they will do the same for any narrative. Helpful when applied politically.
Doctors should be reminded of their Hippocratic oath or the AMA Code of Medical Ethics or whatever is in use. This is not battlefield triage. They are obligated to do all they can.
“When doctors decide that “those people” don’t deserve the same level of care because they are “the other” then that trust is destroyed and bad things will happen.”
