Alabama man dies after 43 hospitals with full ICUs turned him away; family urges COVID-19 vaccines
DeMonia suffered a heart attack and was transferred to the nearest available bed, which was more than 200 miles away at Rush Foundation Hospital in Meridian, Mississippi.

This is not acceptable. People who have medical reasons not to get a shot should be exempt, but I fully support Biden's order. What people are doing is not pro-bodily autonomy or pro-life. If people cannot get help from the hospital when they need it, then their freedom to their body and their right to life is being violated. Enough is enough.

Depends who it affects. If it mostly hits gay men, Republicans wouldn't talk about it for a decade.
