I'm only offering the services that they say that they only want.

If they came into a hospital and asked for their wound to be stitched, do you think it would be appropriate and ethical for a healthcare professional to a) refuse treatment, or b) give treatment under insanitary conditions, because they were an anti vaxxer.

Have a think about it, and stop trying to be a smartarse. Is that how you think a member of the medical profession should behave? I think you have more sense than that, but if you truly think those are justifiable options, there is no point in continuing this discussion as our views are just too far apart.

I believe that medical care should be given free at the point of delivery on the basis of need. That consent or refusal should never be assumed, but should be sought for each treatment when possible. That is what Universal Healthcare means to me, and I am not minded to seek exceptions for people I do not like.
