Doctor goes viral for slamming those not treating unvaccinated: ‘Absolutely atrocious’

A doctor in Canada is going viral after posting a video message saying it’s “atrocious” that some healthcare professionals would limit care for patients who aren’t vaccinated.

“I hate it, I think it’s wrong. I think it’s creating mistrust. I think it’s divisive. I think it’s creating more tribalism and it, to me, is the last thing we need,” Dr. Kwadwo Kyeremanteng said in a video posted to his Twitter on Wednesday that has been viewed nearly 150,000 times.

I want as many ppl vaccinated as possible but this talk of limiting care for the unvaxxed is wrong. I can’t get behind it. We need clear messaging & we need compassion to get through this. Let’s avoid the us vs them mentality. We’re in this together. pic.twitter.com/X3HpMD42xU

Kyeremanteng is a critical care and palliative care physician at The Ottawa Hospital, who also frequently discusses healthcare on podcasts and other platforms.

He continued on Twitter that he wants all of his patients to get the vaccine, but noted that “this talk of limiting care for the unvaxxed is wrong.”

“For us to put value judgments on people based on lifestyle decisions, choosing not to get vaccinated … I want you to be vaccinated, but I also don’t want you to smoke. I also don’t want you to use IV drug use, and despite that, when you come into my ICU, I treat you the same,” he said, telling Fox News that he posted the video after seeing negative chatter on social media about the unvaccinated and potentially taxing them and limiting their care. – READ MORE
