Given the current ICU situation, some professionals think it is reasonable to prioritise those who have been vaccinated over those who haven’t. Widmer said that it is not right that unvaccinated people take ICU places from the vaccinated, reducing their chance of survival. Michele Genoni, head of the Swiss Surgeons’ Association, said that vaccination status should never become a factor for deciding who gets ICU treatment. Ruth Baumann-Hölzle, a medical ethics expert is also firmly opposed to using vaccination status as a criterion.
