Q-74 21 Nov 21 - Vaxers

Dr dear Dr: You have a soothing manner like Dr Karol Sikora, so I was wondering if I might ask a controversial question - Should, as Alistair Haimes now suggests, the unvaccinated who freely choose not to be vaccinated, pay the full costs of their treatment once they are admitted to hospital? Is this not a fair result for those that do not contribute to the general effort to contain the Corona virus?

This somewhat controversial question was discussed on the 21st November 21 by a panel of guests on a TV talk show only just recently, and one of the panel, a girl called Emily Hewitson responded in perhaps the most cool and rational way to the original point made on Twitter by Alistair, when she said, cool as a cucumber, that she could not see how such a policy would work and work fairly, since it might set a dangerous precedent in the NHS, which people have already paid for through their taxes once over, only to be told they then must pay for the treatment twice over through a policy of private subscription.  She then asked 3 questions:

- Should smokers be denied access to the NHS hosps, and asked to pay for their treatment?

- Should drinkers be denied access to the NHS hosps, and asked to pay for their treatment?

- Should the obese or Over-Weight People or OWPs be denied or asked to pay for their treatment too?

Besides, she continued, if you are going to deny them NHS free treatment, should you not also free them of their taxes by which they already pay for the NHS in any case, precisely so they are not burdened twice over by the costs of treatment? So, she finished, Alistair Haimes is like the blind leading the blind in this latest Tweet and does not accept that there are civil liberties in this moderne Rebecca Reid guided Britain, where there are many Social Justice Warriors and where the vaccines are good for the generality and commonality but cannot be applied soi-disant to everyone across the board, often for good legitimate and even self-same medical reasons - not everybody who refuses the vaccine does so because they want to, people often have good reasons for avoiding the double jabs of the vaccines. Clearly Alistair hasn't seen the public notices on side effects too of the vaccines as put out by the Health Product Regulatory Authorities around the much better informed Europe's EU. So there is a little bit of self-righteousness among the double jabbed at the moment, and a general attitude of one size fits all too, an attitude which shows that many of the double jabbed have now slipped into a medicaid ideology rather than a home-spun philosophy of their own. Enough of the medical phariseeism, she concluded.

A very able and adroit intervention on the part of such a young mind in a young woman, so that was her point of view, which I report here because it seemed so rational at the time. Doubtless other positive professors like Dr Karol Sikora might have a different point of view, but this one seemed very logical at the time of writing. I pass it on to the general parishioner audience for their own information and medicaid edification, applicable also in the future should other viruses or conditions come along such as Ebo-23 and Nat-25, or other Aids-like situations and scourges and plagues. Nice that the young people of the present moment can speak with such wisdom and cool understanding. Emily is a credit to the cool dispassionate way that moderne young people can now reason through all of the moral maze of such medicare decisions. It was nice to hear her expatiate on such issues of popular moment. Brava Emily.
