> If you choose to do something else dangerous like rock climbing or smoking or unprotected sex should the public also not be responsible for your care costs?
Personally, yes. Until we reach the point that e.g. rock climbing is available to everyone in the population, it's unfair to ask those who cannot afford it to subsidize those who can but put the costs of their adventures on the public. (That's why I think unprotected sex and smoking are public concerns. They're accessible to nearly everyone.)

The analogy to this would be requiring negative Covid tests. I, and most people, I think, would be fine with someone refusing vaccination if they can consistently show recent negative tests.

I am not an anti-vaxxer, but bodily autonomy is important and we mustn't coerce people into medical treatments.
