Quebec to force unvaccinated to pay financial penalty

MONTREAL (AP) — The premier of the French-speaking Canadian province of Quebec announced Tuesday that adult residents who refuse to get vaccinated against COVID-19 will be charged a financial penalty.

Premier Francois Legault said not getting vaccinated leads to consequences for the health care system and not all Quebecers should pay for that.

He said the levy will only apply to people who do not qualify for medical exemptions. It is the first time a government in Canada has announced a financial penalty for people who refuse to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Legault said the amount of the penalty hasn’t been decided,but will be “significant.” More details are tol be released at a later date.

I told his wife if his outcome is not stellar they should find a lawyer and sue every unvaxxed COVID patient that clogged the hospitals and delayed his procedure that didn't have a medical reason for not getting the vax. There has to be a cost to be irresponsible and selfish at the level we are seeing. Non-Covid patients suffering and the poor med staff....significantly due to others endless stupidity.
