make the unvaxxed pay

rather then giving cash incentives to get people to get the vaccine its time to start making the unvaxxed pay

start adding an unvaxxed surcharge to the prices they pay anywhere they go,in order to cover the extra sanitation costs.
raise their health insurance rates
cancel their life insurance

make it expensive enough to remain unvaxxed that they will rush to get the jab

It’s too bad they seem to constantly govern several steps behind at times, functioning in a perpetual “Crisis Management Mode”.

Is it ever possible to prevent a problem, from growing into a bigger problem in the first place?

Do we really need all of these “College and University graduates”? Decision makers with their Diplomas hanging on the walls, for all the mistakes they make?

The reason is to ensure that only this is part of the payment. I can only imagine how this could be expanded to include a lot of other unpaid medical issues over the coming years.

Pass Federal legislation that criminalizes not being vaccinated.

Violators are fined $1000 and ordered to serve three months in jail. No exceptions unless they get vaccinated before trial. Anyone incarcerated gets forcibly vaccinated

Empower police to be able to stop people anytime and ask for proof.

Maybe they might use it to discriminate against minorities, but they'd never check for vaccination status against white people.
