What is cruel, is not doing the bare minimum as a member of society and needlessly taking up precious ER resources that other responsible and well-meaning members of society might need.
To clarify, rather than denial of entry, I am suggesting deprioritization in the ER.
If someone got into a car crash tomorrow and the ER is full, given a similar expected mortality between the crash victim and antivaxxer, the antivaxxer should be ejected to make room.
Today we are already seeing that antivaxxers are saturating ERs and people have to wait hours for serious issues. I do not think it is particularly controversial to say that the antivaxxer is less deserving of care.
