Ok, it's Singapore rather than here.
Singapore will no longer pay the Covid-19 medical bills for people “unvaccinated by choice”, the government said, as the country grapples with a surge in cases.

The government currently covers the full Covid medical costs for all Singaporeans, as well as permanent residents and long-term visa holders, unless they test positive soon after returning home from oversea

However from 8 December, the government said it will “begin charging Covid-19 patients who are unvaccinated by choice

It's not our style of doing things, but it's interesting to see how the rest of the world handles antivaxers.

No, our 'style' is doing things by stealth...

The 'Jab or Job' has started, so would you consider that a fine?

And just out of interest how would you define an 'anti vaxxer'?

A person who wishes not to have any vaccinations?
Or a person who wishes not to have a vaccination for the current 'virus'?

Definitely an antivaxer

Probably still an antivaxer, they often claim to evaluate each vaccine individually and will take any they think are worth it, but then just happen to reject them all.

I've had many vaccines over my lifetime, and approved them for our children before they became of age to make their own choices.

But I happen to think that at this moment in time not enough research has been done for these multiple vaccines/boosters ...

So am I an 'anti vaxxer'?
 
Hear, Hear!!:)
Fascist
No. It's a sensible public health measure.
So you believe depriving someone of making a living due to their belief against forced medication isn't a fine?

What other jabs do you think should be made compulsory because they are according to you 'a sensible public health measure'?

More pertinent would be to ask which vaccines did you refuse for your children or you. You might just be a new convert to the Antivaxer herd.

Oh dear...

You're really digging yourself a bigger hole aren't you!

I've had a tetanus booster (due to a nasty encounter with a rusty nail) since deciding not to have the 'virus' jab(s) at this present time...

Does that make me an anti vaxxer?

Yes or no!
 
Tried and trusted technology, nothing to worry about.
Maybe you could tell us why trials on all control groups (especially children) haven't fully taken place/been evaluated?
 
Massive shortage in health care workers and they want to sack thousands more i wonder who is going to care for the dying or will we just add them to covid figures as its covid related ,, no workers to care for them

If people looking after some of the most vulnerable in our society can't take a simple vaccine then that is their own fault.

The first, absolutely not, they are exercising a right, perhaps a religious edict from their church/faith.
The second perhaps yes, because the 'tone' of the remark would fall into my anti vaxxer definition.

Anti vaxxer: a person who eschews vaccinations because of suspicion of their origin, but is unwilling to simply go about their business letting others do the same; protests 'for' anti vaxxing in ways (IMO) that are often aggressive and threatening; shouts about 'rights', when the fundamental right of choice they have open to them and have exercised. Finally, they would think it abhorrent if, when sick from the illness the vax may have prevented, they are not pushed to the front.

what its the most vulnerable fault that they will be left to die because someone who is perfectly healthy gets sacked ...pray tell who do think is going to care for all these vulnerable people are we going to introduce conscription
