My wife and daughter work in allied and health.Yes, it is a can of worms either way. But the hospital has to decide what is best for everyone, not just that one patient.
Let's suppose it was a highly infectious version of the flu and she was required to wear some sore of protective mask and take certain medicines to allay symptoms during het stay, but she refused to comply. It's the same situation. As a duty of care to everyone, the hospital may be obliged to refuse her admittance.
You can't simply make your own rules and insist the hospital treat you regardless. She had the option to get vaccinated and chose not to do it.I have a daughter who works as an OT in a mental health ward, plus a wife who is a pharmacist.

Surely all the vaxed people are confident in there recommended protection, Not
I basically agree with this.She wasn't refused unconditionally. She did have the option to get vaccinated.
The hospital's duty of care extends beyond that of the immediate patient and also encompasses their staff and other patients. Were another patient or member of staff to get covid and have severe complications due to this patient being unvaccinated, even if there were no signs of this patient having covid on admittance, the hospital could face legal repercussions. If this patient were to get covid when under hospital care, even this patient might be able to sue the hospital. The best scientific knowledge, whether one agrees with it or not, is that an unvaccinated person is more likely to get infected with covid and, if infected, more likely to spread it. The hospital couldn't genuinely claim it took all necessary precautions, when they ignored this one obvious precaution which was to ensure all people admitted were vaccinated.
Ultimately this person made a decision that she knew would jeopardise her chances of receiving a necessary operation. The hospital is not at fault.
Lockdowns work if people abide by them.We talk about fear mongering with qanon. Let's talk about the absolute craziness of locking everyone down over two years.
Yeah... locking people away from other humans works. Let's nail doors shut just to make sure next time.Lockdowns work if people abide by them.
Ask the folk in WA, SA, TAS, NT, ACT and Queensland.
If you did a good job, you got re-elected with McGowan a shining example.
Other things could have worked in conjunction with lockdowns to ease the severity, but we don't even enforce QR code scanning so it's always going to be a lottery as to how bad things could get.
That said, what's the conspiracy here?
This trial has been totally misrepresented by both media and Twitter. Watching the trial compared to reading the articles or watching news is apples and oranges.Meanwhile back at the ranch the farm house is on fire
As America Falls Apart, Profits Soar
As the country again prepares to go to war with itself, this time over a high-profile trial, a bigger story goes unnoticed

We regularly walked and chatted to our neighbours , had friends visit and went shopping for essentials.Yeah... locking people away from other humans works. Let's nail doors shut just to make sure next time.
Sir Garpal
That Qanon was behind every antivaxxer in the country as pushed and labelled by media.But where is the conspiracy?
True, they were only behind most of the disinformation behind every antivaxxer.That Qanon was behind every antivaxxer in the country as pushed and labelled by media.
Proof?True, they were only behind most of the disinformation behind every antivaxxer.
Oh, that's the same thing.
Where's the conspiracy?
Some people have legitimate reasons for refusing vaccinations, whether we think they are rational or not.Proof?
Seems like an assumption.
Aware of what's been posted. Fail to see that it's a driving force and rather a "conspiracy theory" dribbled by media clowns such as badham. I haven't seen many people chanting "stop the lizard people".Some people have legitimate reasons for refusing vaccinations, whether we think they are rational or not.
But Qanon actually spread conspiracy ideas (batshyt crazy stuff) all over the internet, so I don't know what makes my point an assumption.
Are you oblivious to Qanon's crap?
Of all the social media platforms I'm on, I've only ever seen Qanon mentioned here on ASF by our resident leftists, and the likes of CNN and MSNBC.Aware of what's been posted. Fail to see that it's a driving force and rather a "conspiracy theory" dribbled by media clowns such as badham. I haven't seen many people chanting "stop the lizard people".
Are you oblivious to the effects of lockdowns on broader society?
Do you think people may just be angry because the government basically destroyed many businesses, education, mental health, rights, etc.
I have no doubt foreign actors have contributed. But Qanon was big a few years back. It is not the driving force of what's going on.
The only conspiracy is saying that Qanon loons are mainstream. People are just angry and dislike totalitarianism.
