Vaccine Nation 0
Paul Rupert is currently undergoing regular dialysis while awaiting a kidney transplant; his brother has committed to donating a kidney, but he worries that hospital space won’t be available, as hospitals fill with anti-vaxxer COVID patients. Indeed, he is quite fed up. An excerpt (emphasis in the original).
Any euphoria proved short-lived. In a matter of weeks, delta rampaged, along with “vaccine hesitancy” and spiking hospitalizations and deaths. Soon ICU beds filled up and the talk began of postponing “elective surgeries” — as if a transplant were a tummy tuck.
If the rest of us are required to go willingly or unwillingly through protective steps for routine hospital visits, admission for COVID treatment should meet the same standard. Simply put, it is time to declare: No vaccination, no hospitalization. Except for those too young to get shots, the adults among us should show the courage of our convictions, make our choices and live — or die — with them.
