Singapore has been providing free healthcare to all of its citizens, but starting on Dec 8, this free healthcare is cancelled for the unvaccinated.
"The Government is currently footing the full COVID-19 medical bills of all Singaporeans, Permanent Residents and Long-Term Pass Holders (SCs/PRs/LTPHs)
"Currently, unvaccinated persons make up a sizeable majority of those who require intensive inpatient care, and disproportionately contribute to the strain on our healthcare resources."
But a look at the data shows very small numbers of patients, averaging under 100 per day in the ICU in the entire country. In addition, the vast majority of these patients are elderly, aged 60 and above. https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/statistics
The vast majority of those who are dying from covid in Singapore are those 60 and older, regardless of their vaccination status. Those 60+ are a vulnerable group who probably have even less capacity to pay such bills. Meanwhile, is Singapore seeking damages from China? I am not aware.
Have any countries around the world sought to increase numbers of ICUs or capacity of ICUs? If not, why not? Don't governments have a responsibility to their citizens, during a global pandemic, to increase the capacities of their healthcare systems to provide care? I have not read anything yet about calls for increasing ICUs. If they are not making efforts to do this, then they are not making good-faith efforts to provide care for all their citizens, instead seeking to point a finger at one group for the blame.
Also, how is it compassionate or just to target any citizens of any nation right now, in a global pandemic? All the people worldwide are victims of a pathogen that has been forced upon them, and that they have to in some way deal with. And now, to go after taxpaying citizens of nations around the world and to target them in this way, I just can't imagine.
And I have not seen any efforts of any governments around the world to seek compensation from China for damages; China is responsible for the pandemic and so far has not been held accountable in any way.
What society is doing to the unvaccinated is disgusting.
Time for the unvaccinated to stop paying health care premiums if they try that nonsense here. I'll take my $700 a month, and $5000 deductible, which I barely use because I take care of myself, and put it towards something else. Should be interesting to see who pays for the obese diabetics, druggies, and other sickly people when people like me opt out.
If the disease has really spread thru the deer pop and the deer is the reservoir, then it wont matter, vaccinated, unvaccinated. The reservoir has already been established.

The unvaccinated are increasing the cost of healthcare. And are triaging people who don’t have COVID but have serious medical issues to the back burner because the unvaccinated are overwhelming hospital beds.
Take your chances with no medical insurance? Let us know how that works out if/when you have a serious emergency.
"Most people have heard that there is a link between obesity and diabetes. The reality is that being obese or even overweight can increase your chances of developing type 2 diabetes.
According to the Canadian Obesity Network, one in four Canadian adults and one in 10 children have clinical obesity. Research also shows that if you’re obese, your chances of developing type 2 diabetes are 80 times greater than those of people whose body mass index (BMI) is within a normal range (under 25)."
More easy to scapegoat the unvaccinated than the big companies like Pfizer who put a vaccine developped like how General Motors developped the Chevrolet Vega.

there are plenty of type 1 diabetics, and there is a category of adult onset type 1 which is genetic and can be mistaken for type 2. So you cant always link obesity to diabetes. Or diet either. Don't paint everyone with such a broad brush.
I read in the Chicago Tribune this morning an article by Paul Wiseman from the Associated Press that the biden adminstration wants Americans to spy on and report those that are not vaccinated.
Quote: To enforce President joe biden's forthcoming Covid-19 mandate, the U.S. Labor Department is going to need a lot of help. Its Occupational Safety and Heath Administration doesn't have nearly enough workplace safety inspectors to do the job.
So the government will rely upon a corps of informers to identify violations of the order: Employees who will presumably be concerned enough to turn in their own employers if their co-workers go unvaccinated or fail to undergo weekly tests to show they're virus-free.End Quote
