Yes!

Remember they have declined/refused the free preventative treatment offered by the NHS for CoViD19. Under the established ResPect protocol that could be sufficient for consultants to decide that the patient had capacity when they made that decision and thus did not want medical intervention/treatment if they contracted CoViD19 and that 'forcing' treatment at a time when they might not have capacity, would be a violation of medical ethics and that person's human rights...

Remember a big issue has been to manage things so that there are sufficient beds etc. once hospitals start getting full difficult decisions will be made and vax'ed/unvax'ed is a simple first cut dividing line.

>Some very sick and twisted thinking behind the view

Not really, just some hard logic based on recent encounters with the ResPect protocol and how it is applied in overstretched A&E's with a shortage of high dependency beds.

Getting vaccinated is personal choice which has consequences - own them.
