The American people have been treated to a steady course of stupidity since Joe Biden tottered into the Oval Office, but denying medical care to those who haven’t taken the COVID-19 vaccine might be the stupidest idea to date.

Biden hasn’t floated this idea himself, but his allies in Hollywood and the media haven’t been shy about voicing their disdain for those who have yet to take the jab.

Most recently, leftist stooge and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel said that emergency rooms should leave unvaccinated Americans to die.

“Dr. Fauci said if hospitals get any more overcrowded they’re going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed,” he said Tuesday. “That choice doesn’t seem so tough to me. ‘Vaccinated person having a heart attack? Yes, come right in, we’ll take care of you. Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy.'”

He’s not alone—and this sentiment isn’t just isolated to silly Hollywood types. Back in August, a group of North Texas doctors began working on a plan that would take vaccination status into account when determining who gets a hospital bed.

Those doctors tried to walk back their statements in subsequent interviews, but they failed to put that (probably unvaccinated) cat back into the bag.

Around the same time, an Alabama doctor flatly refused to treat unvaccinated people because COVID-19 is a “miserable way to die” and he “cannot continue to watch my patients suffer and die.”

If that’s true, you’d think the doctor would want to treat unvaccinated people since vaccinated people rarely die of the disease.

Twitter, of course, is a hotbed of attacks against unvaccinated Americans.

Whether doctors adopt this policy en masse remains to be seen, but if they do, they’ll have to refuse to treat millions of other Americans as well.

They’ll have to refuse to treat the McDonald’s-eating, exercise-allergic obese man dying of a heart attack. He’s been told his entire life to change his lifestyle, but he never listens. He probably deserves to die with the unvaccinated.

They’ll have to refuse to treat the Chicago gangster who staggers into an emergency room with a gunshot wound. That guy should have known his life of crime would get him killed. He probably deserves to die with the unvaccinated.

They’ll have to refuse to treat the drunk driver who has one too many margaritas and wraps her car around a telephone pole. Everyone knows not to drink and drive! She definitely deserves to die along with the unvaccinated.

As you can see, refusing medical care to the unvaccinated sets a dangerous precedent, one that we don’t apply to any other illness or injury.

The only reason leftists are suddenly promoting personal responsibility and natural consequences is because it happens to fit their big-government agenda. I’m looking forward to Jimmy Kimmel telling the homeless man to get a job, the fat woman to exercise, and the poor kid to start a business. Somehow, I don’t think he’ll apply his COVID policy to other areas of American life.
