One way or the other - it is going to come! "It" being a huge jump in insurance premiums because of the costs insurance companies - and Medicare - are wracking up and they are going to want that money back.
And a way to do that is to demand the insured help mitigate their risk by getting vaccinated. So...
Insurance companies:
"No vaccination - No coverage."
You get sick and/or die from Covid - No coverage. Health and life insurance.
You and your heirs are on your own.
Or:
"No proof of vaccination, multiply your current premium x 5."
Until it hits them personally, where it hurts the most, in their wallet, all the educational lotteries, free donuts, free food, free beers, paying them to get vaccinated, and other incentives will come to nothing.
We are going to pay for it one way or the other, so make the unvaccinated pay for the damage they are causing. They don't want to pay 5X more for their premiums? Then they are admitting that the dreaded "Soshilism!" ain't so bad.

Whole life insurance policies have already been written and can't be changed but I suppose term based products can, although anyone statistically likely to die from COVID already has risk factors the would drive the premiums on term based policies through the roof.
