Quebec has had enough of residents refusing to get vaccinated. The Canadian province’s Premier François Legault said it would impose a health tax on those who won’t get a COVID-19 shot, arguing that the region’s 90 percent vaccination rate puts it in a position to impose it. “We are there now,” he said at a news conference Tuesday.
The amount has not yet been determined, but he said the tax would be high enough to reflect the burden the unvaccinated put on hospital staff. According to Global News, 50 percent of intensive care beds are being taken up by unvaccinated people with COVID. “Those who refuse to get the shot bring a burden to hospital staff and an important financial burden for the majority of Quebecers,” Legault said. The province is currently under a curfew due to the Omicron surge and students will be studying remotely until at least Jan. 17. Read more at Global News.

Same as car insurance premiums. The more safety devices that you install, the lower your rates.
Really? So how about a sports tax, a fat tax…
Is this because of the taxing strain Covid patients put on the hospital system? Is this because the government is taxed over how to best assure compliance with vaccinations? Is this because taxing is the best and only way government can raise revenue? Are socialists allowed to raise revenue through taxation, isn’t that a creed contradiction?
The insanity is refusing to get vaccinated.
That’s right. The unvaxxed are the true evil ones. They are killing the vaxxed big time. And because of the unvaxxed hospitals are full of vaxxed patients with covid, and only the vaxxed ones. If the unvaxxed will be fined, the vaxxed wouldn’t get covid and would live forever. Get to them, the unvaxxed. They’re a danger to the planet and danger to humanity. Charlie, I hope you’re up to date with the shots. #6?
If you are up to date with your vaccines, you have nothing to worry about. You are protected from Covid. Don’t be so concerned about those who are reckless and don’t.
As the Editor of this website you have אחריות. To just come up with a headline starting with the word “INSANE”, with no explanation, no evidence presented, no background to explain your medical qualifications and your experience in dealing with other epidemics is פשיעה.
Given that we are talking about questions of סכנת נפשות, please can you tell me who is your פוסק that says it is permitted or appropriate to write such headlines in a medium that is מפרסם this worldwide.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
You’re such a mitzvah boy. I’m sure everything you do in your life you check with your Posek.
Let me explain the use of the word “insane” for you. If you’re a heroin addict, you don’t have to pay this french canadian tax. If you smoke, you don’t have to pay this french pepsi tax. If you’re an alcoholic, you don’t have to pay the french pepsi tax. But if you choose not to be vaccinated because you choose to trust the many physicians who don’t recommend the vaccine, then you’re a strain on the system.
What a world we live in that you’re not able to see this by yourself.
Hey, Richie. You with your epidemic. Even mainstream fake news never used the word epidemic. They used ‘pandemic’, or better yet, ‘plandemic’ – an outbreak of a fake virus-turned-disease – but never ‘epidemic’. Because they know that covid never caused an epidemic. Nobody died on streets. All deaths occurred by the hands of doctors and nurses in hospital and the the death-jab.
Many gedolei yisroel, including the Viznitzer Rebbe from the US/Yerushalayim clearly stated that the entire covid is a hoax.
If it were the Covid patients themselves that had to pay for their medical care, that would be one thing. Since, however, in Canada it is the government that ends up carrying the costs, the vaccinated, who account for the vast majority of the severely ill and end up staying at the hospitals for far longer, should be either billed individually for all expenses incurred, or contribute higher amounts in taxes, to offset those projected expenses.
After all, do YOU want to pay for someone else’s negligence, or should the person himself be responsible?
Watch how many religious and conscientious objectors to vaccines will suddenly find heteirim or precisely opposite philosophical grounds to “allow” themselves becoming inoculated. Money is the greatest motivator ever invented.
The only insane part of the story is that this hasn’t yet become the law in every civilized country, including the USA, as it should.
What?! The US government IS paying for every single vaccine that a person takes! Nobody is paying out of their pocket to get a vaccine shot! What the are you talking about?! Government funding = dumb stupid guilible taxpayers.
So tell us: Are you up to date on all your vaccinations? Have you had as many jabs as your children? If not, you need to start donating money to the government right now to “offset projected expenses.”
