I guess it’s easier to pass a law like this, than a law which puts the unvaccinated at the back of the queue when hospital beds run out.



And yet... if you asked the unvaccinated which they prefer (between being forced to be vaccinated and going to the back of the queue when beds run out), they will probably prefer the latter. It is disturbing to do things against people's will "for their own good"


Extremely so. And hopefully also more effective at reducing overall harm short-term - after all triage rules would only decide who dies, not reduce deaths, you don't want to be in the situation that there is a queue! (And remember, you don't get to make a queue over everybody in the ICU, but only whoever is currently incoming)
