That’s fine, but letting unvaccinated people suffer or die is a discriminatory position.

If there is a underlying medical condition that is present then sure I agree. Everyone is allowed to make mistakes and shouldn’t be left to die because of it.

Let’s stop hating each other, love everyone even the anti-vaxers.

The "shouldn't" can be ignored when the hospital is at 100% capacity; when in crisis, things no longer happen as they "should". Even more so, some "shoulds" must be ignored, or you'll have patients queuing up outside the hospital.

Unvaccinated people literally have smaller chance of survival.

Whether vaccination status is to be included in the triage point score is an ongoing debate -- it currently isn't: https://www.denverpost.com/2021/11/21/vaccination-status-col...
