Passing on a vaccine ought to mean passing on medical care

To the editor:

If individuals do not trust the medical science that developed the vaccines for COVID-19, that’s their prerogative. I would simply ask that they have the honesty and integrity to inform those around them that, in the event that they develop COVID-19 symptoms, because they do not trust medical science, they do not want to be admitted to a hospital or utilize any resources of medical science. To want it both ways is the worst hypocrisy.

My sister was scheduled for essential surgery recently and was sent home because all of the beds were filled with unvaccinated COVID-19 patients.

I’m having a hard time maintaining a Christian attitude toward those patients.
