Difference is that those conditions are not contagious, and the risks cannot be greatly mitigated by taking a shot about once every six months. A lot of people try to overcome addiction and fail despite their best efforts. It's virtually impossible to try and get vaccinated and fail.

You also missed the point.  The point I was trying to make is that if you start selecting now who you will treat or not treat due to being vaccinated or non-vaccinated, then whats to stop the dictating of treatments for other ailments that may be able to be prevented.  Once that door is opened there will be a flood of bullshit that will rush in.  It will not stop with just Covid related issues, you can fill in your own examples that will be better suited for the Covid comparisons but my point is that door should not be opened.  What's to stop treatment being denied for personal beliefs, religious beliefs, political affiliations, race, intellect, or income level?

A person wasn't addicted to cigarettes, drugs, or alcohol before they started doing it so it's their fault they were stupid enough to start and shouldn't be allowed treatment (but again this is not the point).  I only used it as an example as to what might constitute another reason to deny treatment.  Again, don't open up that door.  Some people are predisposed to make stupid decisions.  I'm one of them.  I'm over-weight, former smoker, still drink and am guilty of other vices I won't mention here.  I refuse to judge anyone because I sure as hell have no standing.
