Premier Daniel Andrews says Vaccinated citizens in the state of Victoria will be allowed out of lockdown in the near future, but the unvaccinated will remain in lockdown isolation.
‘To protect the health system, we’ve got everybody locked down, and we’re going to move to a situation where to protect the health system we’re going to LOCK OUT people who are not vaccinated. If you’re making the choice not to get vaccinated, then you’re making the wrong choice.”
However, according to the Daily Mail UK, the draconian COVID measures ‘didn’t work’ and “had only been imposed in the first place after pressure was applied by media outlets.”
In the United States, there is debate on why medical care must be rationed during COVID-19. Ethicist, Daniel Wikler argued in the Washington Post that in urgent care situations, those who are vaccinated and complied with COVID-19 policies should be triaged first in line for medical care. While those who had been skeptical about COVID-19 and are unvaccinated should be deprioritized.
There is an increasing number of restrictions on those yet to receive a COVID shot are being introduced in Europe and the U.S.
