CNN Medical Guest: We Need to Do More to Punish Unvaccinated Americans
townhall.com ^ | 1/5/2022 | Julio Rosas

Arthur Caplan, who is the director of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, told CNN on Wednesday more things need to be done to punish Americans who are not vaccinated for COVID-19.

A clearly perturbed anchor John Berman asked Caplan, "Why should anyone who is boosted bother at this point to do anything that makes the unvaccinated more safe?"

"Well, look, I want us to act as a community. I want us to act as a team. When you’re fighting a war, you need all hands on deck. I don’t want to reject those who still haven’t done the right thing. I’ll condemn them. I’ll shame them. I’m blame them. But I don’t want to exclude them. They’ve got to come around," Caplan replied.

Caplan predicted the United States will still be dealing with COVID-19 in a major way this time next year because not enough Americans will be vaccinated.

"We can penalize them more, say you will have to pay more on your hospital bill if you're not vaccinated. You can’t get life insurance or disability insurance at affordable rates if you aren’t vaccinated. Those companies should not treat us as equals in terms of the financial burdens that that disease imposes. So I can think of a number of ways in which we can say here’s the stick, get on board," he continued.

Caplan sounds like a dick-tater to me. And all of these "punishments" for something that is not lawful and the "treatment/vaccine" is mostly still UNAPPROVED and is UNsafe, UNreliable, INeffective. And this assclown is the director of medical ethics? Pretty sure he skipped the ethics classes.

They want to punish us by making us sick AND forcing us to risk known short term side effects and unknown long term side effects.

No thanks.

Or gay guys who allow other men to go 'in through the out door'?

How about the people who have had three shots and they still died?

How about a way to punish the people who made these 'vaccines'?

If you are vaccinated, you can get still get Covid, and the symptoms are sometimes even worse than if you had not taken the jab.

I'll take my chances with "natural immunity."

The nerve of these people. First of all, this whole communist Chinese WuHuFlu isn’t the fault of the vaccinated or unvaccinated.

Secondly, should we mandate this guy have weekly A1C diabetes glucose monitoring? How bout daily finger pricks to check his glucose levels? Oh, but that would be so intrusive.

Should Caplan be punished for being overweight? Should we mandate he ingest nothing but kale salads until he drops 15 lbs? Oh no! That would be un-American to require this of him.

Punish the unvaccinated? Punish? Really? Wow! These people are plain scary.

Proper treatment options should have been the game-plan at the beginning of COVID-19, and it should really be at the forefront right now.

Clearly it’s the unvaccinated who are making the vaccinated sick. Kill them all.

When I was still smoking, my life insurance premium was higher. I’m old enough now that it doesn’t change any more.

He’s a leftist tool whose school’s very existence depends on government contracts, grants and paid studies to keep its leftist staff in the styles to which they’ve become accustomed.
