They should implement strict triage protocols. When an unvaccinated patient presents they should be placed at the end of the line for admission and treatment.

Better yet they should be given some dewormer and sent back home. No Adult who comes in with covid and uvaccinated should be treated. They should be sent home and placed in quarantine.

PFC Andrew "Tommy" M. Idiots who refuse to get vaccinated against Covid should not recieve medical treatment from a hospital. They should be sent home with some horse dewormer to die or survive. Their stupidity is killing people by denying otherd access to the care they need at a hospital.

We should never move away from treating based on acuity as once we start doing it we will never recover from it. This would quickly bring upon a class system in how we treat patients and this would be very bad for the country.
