Yep, the taxpayers pick up the tab for most of the covid hospitalizations. It's not cheap! Some stay in ICU for weeks. That's why the states are giving away prizes for vaccinations. WV gives away trucks, guns and lottery tickets. CA gives you a joint. But that also may cause people to hold-out for better gifts. I think indoor spaces need to be closed to those without masks, at the very least... and yeah, that means for vaccinated folks, too, because there's no honor in "honor systems".

Yep vaccinations are dirt cheap in real terms.

Paying with our lives.
