Jimmy Kimmel says unvaccinated people shouldn’t get ICU beds

Kimmel comes back with a bang

As Covid cases surge across the US, Jimmy Kimmel has come up with a controversial solution – don’t give unvaccinated people  beds in intensive care.

Returning to his show on Tuesday after an extended break, Kimmel did not hold back when he talked about Covid, saying it wasn’t a happy Labour Day weekend as cases in the US are 300% higher than this time last year.

“Dr. Fauci said if hospitals get any more crowded, they’re going to have to make some very tough choices about who gets an ICU bed,” Kimmel said.

The 53-year-old said that a vaccinated person should be admitted to ICU, but “Unvaccinated guy who gobbled horse goo? Rest in peace, wheezy.”

His statement references the growing discussion around Ivermectin being used to treat Covid. Arguably the most famous case is with internet personality and podcaster Joe Rogan.

 

Ivermectin is FDA approved but not to treat Covid, and in fact, the governing body is urging people not to take it in replacement of CDC recommended avenues.
