Do you support taxing the unvaxxed?


Conservative Quebec Premier Francois Legault has announced today that the province will be imposing a HEALTH TAX on people who REFUSE to get their first dose of COVID-19 in the coming weeks marking a first in the world to charge unvaccinated individuals a fine!!

He said "We're looking for a health contribution for adults who refuse to be vaccinated for non-medical reasons" as this comes just as the province's health officer Dr. Horacio Arruda resigned after public criticism of his health measures that included overnight curfew and a closure of gyms and restaurant dining.

Quebec has the highest cases in all of canada reaching over 10,000 a day and hospitalizations shattering records along with Ontario and New Brunswick.

Legault didn't say what he payment would be but said he wanted it to be significant enough that it acts as an incentive to get those people to get vaccinated as unvaxxed people still make up a large portion of people in the hospital eating up health resources and are a burden to the province.The tax is likely MORE than $100 but details will be released in the coming weeks and warns unvaxxed now to get vaccinated.

The contribution could be included in people's tax filings.

10% of the province remains unvaccinated and those people take up 50% of their beds causing staff shortages and surgery cancellations.

He is looking at further expanding the use of the vaccination passport such as hairdressers and other personal care services but wanted to go further than that with the tax including alcohol and cannabis stores.

He said it's a question of fairness to the 90% of the population that has made sacrifices who have had enough of unvaxxed people continuing this pandemic.

This comes as quebecers continue to protest the streets on the curfew and break the law with large gatherings and fighting back against restrictions

Do you support taxing the unvaxxed?

It makes sense. Not sure how it works down in the States but we tax smokes pretty significantly to cover the costs of the burden on healthcare, why not the same for unvaccinated people?

This may come as a surprise to you, but you don't need to be on a diet and excercise regularly to eventually vaccinate yourself against Covid.

Some medical conditions can cause extreme weight gain, whether due to the medication you take to treat it, a lack of ability to exercise due to body pain or problems with dizziness/balance/fatigue, or as a direct symptom of the condition itself.

Correct, but they don't even make up 5% of the group of people who are obese.

If you're unvaccinated against Covid, you can solve that with a vaccine. Takes at most an hour or two.
If you're obese, you'd be more than overjoyed if instead of weeks or even months of dieting and exercise you could get into shape in one afternoon with a simple vaccine, wouldn't you?

Exactly, that's why you see so many obese people think they can continue to eat garbage while walking on a treadmill for 20 minutes and lose weight, unfortunately it's not that easy. You need to actually diet, sadly most people aren't willing to do that so they raise our health insurance rates smh

i lost about 20-30 pounds over a year by playing pokemon go before the pandemic it does work.
estimated about 3 miles at least per day by doing a circuit on the prom through downtown and back home.

could easily play even in rain. provided the winds weren't over 10 MPH.

health benefits, didn't feel wiped out walking everywhere.
could walk the dog for an additional hour after my activity.

I have a I don't want to say close friend but more of a an acquaintance, he lost a significant amount of weight playing that ring fit game for switch. I am so happy for him and I hope that Nintendo continues to make exercise-centric games in the future

A blanket tax doesnt make sense because not everyone who is unvaccinated goes on to infect others, while those who are vaccinated can still pose a risk.

If it were feasible, Id rather they implement a fine of some sort. You infect another person, you pay.

Of course. Why should I be forced to foot the bills for uneducated right-wing anti-vaxxers when they inevitably end up in the hospital? Make them pay into covering themselves for their stupid choices.

Food is already taxed and fat people are taxed more because they buy more food. This is already true today in every country that taxes food. Same with smoking and alcohol

Terrible idea. Its like if two people shot someone randomly in public. Victim 1 survives and victim 2 dies. Both shooters should be punished equally. All antivaxxers should be punished equally and treated as if they are incredibly malicious

Should just bar them from going to the hospital when they get covid tbh. That would actually solve the problems an unvaxxed population causes to the healthcare system. One way or another.

This isn't gonna do anything. People will just wear it as a badge of honor. "Paid my freedom tax bro fuck the jab!"
