Taking out the emotions of his argument - science doesn’t yet support the notion that vaccines offer more protection than a previous COVID infection. There’s no reason to discriminate against post-COVID non-vaxxers. Why punish them for following reasonable science-based advice from their doctor?
(Again, I’m
not saying I believe in this.)
Because they’re not being “punished”. If they believe there’s a reasonable chance they’ll end up in the hospital with COVID and denied adequate treatment, they should get vaccinated. They’re only punishing themselves- it’s a system with a voluntary action, and reward and punishment tied directly to the action and subsequent reaction. It actually is quite reasonable, hospital morals and ethics aside.
Don’t think it’s needed because you won’t be affected? No problem. But don’t expect people who *did* take the shot to scoot over for you in the hospital.
(I would assume PG’s system would leave room for people who’s doctors issue an exemption because it’s dangerous for them, but who still maintain adequate caution vis a vis exposure).
