It's as if "experts", senior functionaries, and journalists are falling over themselves to get with the program and to show Big Pharma what good gobbers off they are, so skilled at speaking to a brief, at doing their bit for the National Effort, and (just as all good salesmen's manuals advise) at really believing this stuff while they're coming out with it:
"NHS exec: 'hard decisions' may have to be made about prioritising patients"
"Saffron Cordery, the deputy chief executive of NHS Providers, which represents NHS hospitals, ambulance, community and mental health services, has told the Guardian “hard decisions” may have to be made about which patients to prioritise if Covid cases continue to rise."
Can't get much clearer than that.
(Cordery describes herself as having "extensive experience in policy development, influencing and communication".)
"She said: “Trust leaders are looking on anxiously as the number of Covid cases, hospital admission rates and patients on ventilators steadily increases.
“It is vital that the government and national NHS leaders keep a close watch on these figures and act quickly and decisively to prevent any surge that could place overwhelming pressure on the NHS, particularly as we head into winter. This should include activating ‘plan B’ in the Covid winter plan, if needed.”
She added: “It is important to recognise that as Covid-related pressures intensify, this could impact on the NHS’s ability to bear down on the care backlog. Trust leaders understand only too well the importance of minimising any delays for planned treatment. But if other pressures continue to escalate they will have to take hard decisions about priorities.”"
In less traffic-wardenish language, "If you're ill, f*** off".
Who represents the anti-prioritised? The answer doesn't seem to be "NHS Providers".

It's a crying shame that people won't get treatment, just because so many people won't be vaccinated and fill up the hospitals.
Those that choose this path can blame themselves or the misinformation peddlers who have influenced them. The people they displace from treatment are actually their victims.
Does the anti-vaxx lobby ever consider the damage they do?
, this could impact on the NHS’s ability to bear down on the care backlog.
