First of all I have always DESPISED Don Lemon. He is a combination of self-righteous smugness and in some cases sheer ignorance on some topics he should not be touching. It's sickening to watch him even for a few seconds. I vote straight Republican.
But this case is a rare exception in which I agree with him. People who refuse to be vaccinated are endangering society. It's not simply a matter of rights or freedom of choice. It goes beyond that. I don't want them infecting me and I don't want the burden of paying their medical care. Probably the first time I agree with the Lemon turd.
Are you prepared to back the use of physical force to prevent unvaccinated from entering hospitals for treatment?
I'm prepared to take action to prevent the opposite happening - any attempt to prevent me accessing the healthcare that I have help fund, will see hospitals designated as targets, and any State representative as a potential hostile.
If you want to talk hard arse, you better be prepared to act hard arse.

If you're vaccinated then why are you worrying about anyone infecting you? Anyway, even those who'd had the vaccine can carry it and infect you. Maybe you should stay at home so you don't infect someone else?
...."unvaccinated people going to hospitals: ‘Don’t take up resources!’"
I support that 100%. If you don't trust what the Science and Medical community are telling you about the dangers of Covid.....why would you trust them to treat you when you do fall victim to you own stubbornness ?
Stay out of the ER, self medicate and take your chances...after all.... it's all just a hoax.
Yes it is a thread about Lemon, which you tried to deflect and derail it into a thread about Trump.
Which is what I'd previously told you that you should do...and look, you're still trying to deflect and derail.
And yet somehow you thought it would be a good idea to bring the thread back on course by including conspiracy theories about Ashley Biden, because that's not derailing things at all! Classic hypocrisy. Do as I say not as I do. That about sums it up, right? You still haven't accepted you're doing exactly what you're also rallying against.
If gang members get shot in a fight should they also not go?
Should hospitals refuse car to drunk drivers?
All kidding aside the hatred that is being whipped up against people who choose not to get vaccinated is really bothering me.
I did get the vaccine. My wife who had Covid did not. To listen to people like Don Lemon she is akin to a murderer.
We are also in favor of a babies right to life so apparently we are morally equivalent to the Taliban.
Sounds like your hospitals are criminally understaffed and under equipped
Nope. They have simply been over-run by folks who refused to be innoculated. The average age of our ICU Covid patients here is 35. They are the ones who were never inoculated during the first and second waves that passed through Idaho.
But it is true that Idaho lacks hospitals. Right now, we only have 3 large metros in the state, and each has well-equipped, large medical centers. But Idaho is still mostly small towns, and someone with has to travel to get to those hospitals, which means a trip of anywhere from 50 to 150 miles away, one way.
Who foresaw Covid? How many states in the west are in the same problem? Our hospitals served us quite well until this pandemic. Idaho isn't the only state that is short on hospitals and ICU units. The distances are common out here everywhere in the west.
