Quebec says it will tax those who remain unvaccinated against COVID-19 without a medical reason

Franois Legault, the premier of Quebec, said on Tuesday that the province will tax people who are unvaccinated.
Legault said that people who aren't vaccinations for non-medical reasons will have to pay a contribution.

Half of all patients in intensive care units in the province are unvaccinated, according to Legault. He said the unvaccinated should pay for the strain on the healthcare system.
"I think it's a question of fairness for the majority of the population who made some sacrifice," Legault said. "I think we owe them this kind of measure," he said.
Franois Legault is a french businessman.

The premier did not say how much thetribution would be, but he said it would be significant.

There have been 8,710 new cases in the past day with 62 deaths. There are 2,742 hospitalizations with 255 people in intensive care.
Quebec will be the first Canadian province to impose a financial penalty for unvaccinated people.
