Make those who don't get vaccinated pay $500

[TexasTowelie]

by Dr. Hayward K. Zwerling


MASSACHUSETTS IS AGAIN experiencing a COVID-19 surge and our hospitals are overwhelmed, mostly with unvaccinated patients.

As a practicing physician who takes care of many high-risk diabetic patients, I ask all my patients about their COVID-19 vaccination status. I explain to my unvaccinated patients that the benefits of vaccination far exceed the risk, both at the individual and societal level.

Unfortunately, this conversation only convinces a minority of the unvaccinated to get vaccinated and I have found that their decision is usually a political or tribal decision, not a scientific decision. My experience is concordant with survey data which has found that the best predictor of vaccination status is political affiliation.

Recent social experiments have found that “incentives” have failed to convince most unvaccinated people to become vaccinated. However, “disincentives,” such as employment mandates, are an effective means of convincing a majority of unvaccinated patients to become vaccinated.

1. $500? Make that $500 PER DAY... there, fixed it.

2. Add to their bills ALL costs related to ANY care they require.

Non-vaccinated persons should be paying 100% out of pocket on their care to secure any positions in the health care system, but charge them 10X the cost if their care bumps anyone vaccinated from any services at all.

Choices are valid. Freedom is real.
But so are consequences...
