Doesn't matter what we believe, what does God teach about it? Life or death, your choice.

Yea, it is...Let’s put that into perspective...The vaccine that is the “cure” for COVID, if you “receive” it, then you aren’t required to wear a mask, if you don’t, then you do have to wear one...Currently, where I work, HR are the only people allowed to ask you to show proof of your vaccination status, if you do not have the card and are not wearing a mask, then you are on notice, get caught a second time and you’re terminated on the spot...In other words, you are “punished” for not “receiving” the “cure” for COVID...I see this as similar to that idea of G-d “punishing” you for not “receiving” the “cure” for sin...

You must first be convinced that you need it or may be exposed to it, then you have restrictions or punishments, if you don't receive it. And, it doesn't matter, if you never needed it! Even though, not everyone has it, or gets it. "It's the "believe this, do this ... or else" mentality.

We are born sinners and can't help that, but we can do something about it, and there comes the punishment for not accepting what God paid such a high price for to deliver man.
you don't respect God, do you?

So, it's the same HELL for non-believers or the timid as it is for murderers and rapists?
