| Leading rabbi: Treat vaccinated coronavirus patients first |
| 2021-08-18 |
| [Arutz 7] - Rabbi Yuval Cherlow, a leading Religious Zionist rabbi and the dean of the Orot Shaul Yeshiva in Tel Aviv, on Wednesday ruled that medical staff may prioritize vaccinated coronavirus patients over those who refused the vaccine. Discussing a situation in which two coronavirus patients are waiting for medical treatment - one who is vaccinated and one who could have received the vaccine from a medical standpoint but refused - Rabbi Cherlow said it is preferable to prioritize the vaccinated patient. However, he clarified that his statement does not apply to urgent situations in which every moment matters, emphasizing that in such situations, only the usual medical considerations should be taken into account, and it should go in accordance with the urgency of each person's situation. ..."This stems from natural justice, and from the simple principle that a person is responsible for his actions, and that his personal choice must never harm others." |

| #5 #4 Of course segregating people on basis of their actions and segregating people on basis of their race, is exactly the same thing. |

| #3 Some do, I'm sure. Some lie and go to great lengths to not smell like ciggies when they go for physicals. Here in America, Obamacare has made a chest x-ray something you see in a 50's movie. |

| #1 On the surface it's a reasonable idea. But. If you let people legally smoke and drink alcohol, can you later deny them healthcare they have paid for, via taxes or contract (unless the contract states outright that that's the deal)? Same with vaxx. If it's optional at all, it can't be use as a criterion to deny someone their rights, unless we are talking about "rights" granted by the state. |
