I feel like arguing in favor of denying healthcare to the unvaccinated is almost virtue signaling to some degree. How taxed have ICUs been in general? I am sure there are some that hit capacity, but I know a bunch with plenty of beds.
For my state, we have been right around 58% ICU capacity used for some time now. The issue of scarcity has yet to be an issue, with the ICU usage only increasing by a few percent.
Aren't ICUs generally setup to run at a certain percentage of occupancy year round for cost savings reasons? Most places I have looked up the numbers show that the vast majority of people in the ICU are there for unrelated issues.
Take a look at NY's ICU numbers.... 5k beds, 3k used for non-covid and 500 for covid patients. (https://archive.ph/lXRRm) Where's the problem?
My point is authoritarians spouting off about their control fantasies is fucking frightening, but as of yet it seems that scarcity has yet to be a real issue. (not to discount the real possibility that availability of resources will stop these fags from taking away peoples rights some more)

Pre COVID ICUs were designed to run at 90-95% capacity for profit maximizing returns.
