Companies mulling charging unvaccinated employees more for health coverage: report

Similar to the higher insurance premiums smokers may face due to being deemed a greater health risk, companies are now looking at the potential costs their unvaccinated employees may face should they get infected with COVID-19 and require medical treatment.

Wade Symons, a partner at benefits consulting firm Mercer Health, told CBS MoneyWatch on Friday that he expects some employers to increase health premiums for unvaccinated workers by as much as $20 to $50 per paycheck.

What good is that when the vaccinated can not only become infected with covid - studies show they can now now also infect others....this is all a huge bio weapon cluster.....

This is all a sham. According to the Israeli Health Ministry, those with Natural Immunity gained from previously contracting the virus have a 6.72x greater protection from Covid strains than those vaccinated who've not previously contracted the virus. Also, Emory University - the top infectious disease specialty facility in the US - study finds that is possible that Natural Immunity gained could be permanent. Based on these findings from two separate groups and the forefront of this battle, this vaccination vs non vaccination argument is bogus.
