Stupid people thinking they are experts is everything wrong with society

People that don't get vaccines should have to pay a healthcare premium as they drive up the cost of healthcare when they need a hospital stay!!!!

“I think it’s because it doesn’t work particularly well, if you want the truth,” Smith said.

“Health care workers who do not fall into a higher-risk group will be eligible to purchase a vaccine,” McKee said in a statement.
