In the eyes of many, the position of opponents of vaccines is perceived as hypocritical - people will refuse preventive medical treatment (vaccination), start, and then rely on doctors and medical technology to save them.

Although the situation in Israel today is already good in terms of morbidity, it is easy to remember what was here a few weeks ago when one or two Acmo machines remained available throughout the country.

Now, in Singapore they have decided to raise the fight against vaccine opponents level one (or ten) - if you are opposed to getting the vaccine against corona, you must pay for treatment in case you start.

According to a statement released this week, hospitals in Singapore will no longer provide free health care to Corona patients who voluntarily refuse to receive the vaccine, citing the extreme burden that unvaccinated people cause to the health system, especially now in what is known worldwide as the "unvaccinated wave" Medical factors.

Singapore has a privatized health system that is subsidized by the government to varying degrees depending on the disease.

With the outbreak of the corona, officials in Singapore approved the exception, allowing for free and fully subsidized treatment.

The notice, then, removes this exception from unvaccinated people, meaning the patient will have to pay the bill himself.

"Unvaccinated people make up the vast majority of those in need of intensive care, and contribute disproportionately to the burden on our health resources," a Singapore Ministry of Health spokesman said at a news conference.

Medical bills for those who are not eligible for the vaccine will still be paid in full by the government, i.e. children under the age of 12 or people who are not medically eligible.

Although the move is considered by many to be too extreme, the iflscience website mentions that this is not the first time that hospitals and governments have imposed restrictions on vaccine opponents in recent months.

For example, they count one health care system in Colorado that has begun deferring organ transplants to those who have chosen to give up the vaccine.

Arkansas also believes in the right to give up all medical science, not just the vaccine, so they now have a form stating that if you object to getting the vaccine for corona for religious reasons (a practice that has become so popular in the US for vaccine opponents) you also give up using all drugs Containing embryonic cells, including known painkillers and more.
