Not long ago we were discussing about COVID-19, and the people who didn't want to get vaccinated because, amongst other things, they didn't want to "modify their DNA". A twt came across talking about denying medical treatment to those unvaccinated. I replied that was a horrible idea, if anything, from the ethical point of view.
I came across this on The Atlantic today which resonated, and reminded me of the interaction I am referring to. The same thought—that is, denying medical attention to unvaccinated people—was run amongst ethicists, health-care workers, and clinicians, and this summarises their replies:
> Many of them sympathized with the exasperation and fear behind the sentiment. But all of them said that it was an awful idea—unethical, impractical, and founded on a shallow understanding of why some people remain unvaccinated.
The article is very good, and worth reading. Let me know if it shows behind a paywall, and I will try to find an opening for you.
