There are efforts for people not to be at an unhealthy over weight, to not need social assistance and to not go to the hospital in the first case.
Would you argue that a better comparison would be people choosing to have other efforts being done rather than recieving a blood transfusion? Even if non existent or very expensive?
I find your comment on the non vaccinated statistically being a burden to employers and society as a whole, interesting. Because of what seems to imply about shared duties within a society. Not that I disagree with it, but what seems to imply concerning choices and decisions as a society as a whole. Let me explain...
I am curious about the Netherlands handling of the pandemic. I have been following it along with other countries. The Dutch medical system is regularly mentioned as one of the best in the world, and used as an example by politicians in the US.
I have also noticed that after 2.5 years of one of the biggest pandemic of this century, the government seems to have made absolutely zero investment in IC beds and is flying patients to Germany?
Although politicians mention the unprecedented and the seriousness of the current situation, there seems to have been no political wish to invest in medical resources, or make the societal changes required by the current pandemic.
Maybe the arguments directed to the non vaccinated about their unjustified burden on society, would not be so significantly weakened by the observation that, no efforts were made to prioritize and expand medical capacity. Or the observation that in the middle of one unprecedented pandemic, the Dutch state seems to have recently prioritized to spend 200 million dollars on a painting?
So much about choices and societal burdens?
