On Tuesday, the premier of Quebec, Canada, announced that a health tax is planned to be imposed against those who are not vaccinated against Covid-19.
Premier Francois Legault stated, “Even though unvaccinated adults represent 10% of the population, they account for half of COVID hospitalizations in intensive care. It is a huge burden on our health care system.” (translated)
Legault further stated, “This is why we are examining the establishment of a health contribution payable by all adults who refuse, for non-medical reasons, to be vaccinated.” (translated)
