Who is being intolerant? I gave my opinion on people making choices and what they should be prepared to deal with as a consequence of that choice. Or do you feel like only certain people have a right to make a choice? Otherwise please explain how the people you are referring to are intolerant.

It seems to me that you are the one who is intolerant of someone's choice because it might impact you in a manner that you don't want it to. That's a bitch move.

Not vaccinated, don't run to the hospital if you get sick
Not vaccinated, be prepared to pay for your own hospital stay if your insurance makes a choice not to cover Covid Infections.
Not vaccinated, be prepared to find another job if your current gig decides to require workers to be vaccinated.
Not vaccinated, be prepared to be denied entry to businesses that require everyone to show proof of vaccination; it's their choice.

Did I stutter, or was your opinion not one based on barring people from medical care due to a choice they made? Sounds pretty intolerant to me.

I think you need to look in the mirror, because this is pretty humorous coming from someone who believes what you posted.

There's a difference between a choice (like getting or not getting a vaccine), and a consequence, which is what you proposed.

All I suggested was applying those consequences fairly. The basis of your opinion is that someone's personal choice is taking medical resources away from other people, right? Well, there are plenty of other non-COVID examples that we could apply that to.

I don't believe it's appropriate to do such things, but if people want to push it, let's be fair and equitable in our treatment of people who make decisions believed to be "poor".

The irony of this argument is that many of the people I know who have made it also support the idea of universal Healthcare. Apparently its only universal if you make the choices others what you to make.
