  1. Isn’t it amazing how doctors can and will refuse to treat unvaxxed patients but criminal drug addicts who have overdosed MUST receive the finest health care to save their lives so they can OD again next week.

    Sort of like how chemo drugs are very expensive but Narcan is provided free of charge.
