14. I personally don't think that ignoring science is a shitty barrier.

It's a reasonable barrier. If you ignore science deliberately and now get sick, well gosh! Should others who have paid attention to the science now be behind you in the line of those to be treated? Really? Where do we draw the line? How do we decide who should be treated and who should not?

The anti-vaxxers, the willful ignorers of science, should not be ahead of anyone else for treatment. They should be in a tent out in the parking lot with whatever medicos are available after treating the vaccinated. So sorry if that seems harsh, but the anti-vaxxers have been more than dismissive of science and reality. Let reality and science bite them in the face.
