Families could be denied death benefits if their unvaccinated loved one dies

[Swede]

The hits just keep on hitting on the antivaxxers.

1. Ouch!

2. Consequence Culture strikes again

It's your choice to get vaccinated or not, its your employers choice whether or not to keep employing you if you don't, and it;s the insurance company's choice whether or not to pay a death benefit on a death that was self inflicted.

3. Well, that can backfire

Divorced family, Mom and kids are all vaccinated.

As part of the child support/divorce decree, the father is to carry life insurance, etc. for kids.

Now it turns out he wasn't vaccinated..and this rule just denied his kids (that had zero say in his choice) and they lose out of insurance money

I swear, people that come up with these things really don't think them through.

4. I don't see how this helps.

It doesn't hurt the antivaxxer, it hurts the survivors.

Seems to me like this is a slippery slope. They already ask a ton of health questions so they can figure out how much to soak you for. This would just be another question, with premiums adjusted appropriately.
