I’m all for the tin foil hat guys not taking a vaccine if you so wish however stand behind your convictions and stay out of the hospital if you get sick. Pretty much since day one it has been the goal to not overwhelm the healthcare system.
Basically if you are rejecting science, be a [bleep] man, stand behind your convictions and figure out to how to cure yourself by the same means you figured out how vaccines are a bad idea!!!
Unfortunately such is not the case and these same guys do the fastest 180 in history, get [bleep] scared, abandon their firmly held convictions and immediately look for science to bail your dumb ass out.
Basically asking the same people who just wanted to save your life, urging you to get vaccinated and whom you’ve decided should go pound sand, to forget that you are an idiot and save your life.
It just boggles my mind.
Just had an ex colleague die from covid yesterday. 39yrs old and lasted 8 days. Not vaccinated and very vocal about it as well. Wish he was still around to eat some crow.

Hard to withhold care, even from those who refuse to do everything possible to protect themselves and others. These people absolutely do not have the courage of their convictions, proudly anti-vax until intubation. Seems weird that the same people who refuse vaccination even though it's a simple, free, quick and effective intramuscular injection will step right up for an intravenous infusion of monoclonal antibodies, which is much less convenient and costs $2100.
I suppose insurance companies could terminate coverage for those who refuse vaccination, or at least eliminate coverage for COVID-19 treatment if you're not vaccinated. Or increase deductibles for COVID-19 care, making patients and their families responsible for a greater portion of their bill. The cost of hospital care for COVID-19, as reported back in November 2020, ranged from $51,000 to $78,000. As of now, the cost of that care is covered by everybody, and I resent that I have to subsidize stupidity. Probably the most efficient way to make anti-vaxxers responsible for their unwise choice is to increase their insurance premiums. As of November, unvaccinated Delta Airline employees who refuse vaccination will face a $200/month surcharge. Stupid is expensive, fair is fair, let them put their money where their mouths are.
