But isn't that the point of insurance? You pay in some money to offset the risk of an unlikely yet massive expense? What's special about covid versus other risky activities that individuals can take action to offset? Even something as horribly negligent as drunk-driving is handled by insurance. So are drug overdoses.

IMO this sentiment is just another manifestation of the overwhelming desire to punish the unvaccinated, rather than being based on clear thinking.

If you have a drunk driving conviction, your insurance rates are going to go way up. If you are a drug addict, your life insurance premiums will be very high. I suppose the appropriate response to people who choose to not get vaccinated would be to pay a higher premium to account for the extra risk.
