 I do not think any country will make it mandatory that people have a covid vaccination.

Kind regards,

Rightfully so if you are not prepared to safeguard yourself and others why should taxpayers foot the bill.

Then everyone with a ‘self-imposed’ illness from obesity, alcohol, smoking or narcotics should also take responsibility and pay for their treatment. Especially as these illnesses make up 70% of hospital beds.
