Punishing the vaccinated

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Tennessee and Alabama have taken the position that hospitalized COVID-19 patients who have been vaccinated cannot receive antibody medication until all the unvaccinated have received it. This seems like a bizarre way to encourage people to get the shot: “Get vaccinated. Then, if you get hospitalized, you’ll be denied medication.” Talk about a misguided priority system.
