Glad you're on the mend! I STRONGLY believe everyone should have the right to choose to opt-out of getting vaxed.
That said, your decision and situation leaves me with questions-
When someone makes the adult decision to opt-out of getting vaxed and then ends up in the hospital, should the rest of society that made the decision to opt-in and get vaxed (and as a result, almost got never that ill) have to bear the financial burden of the cost of the un-vaxed person's hospital bill by watching their own insurance premiums go up?
As strongly as I believe everyone's right opt-out of getting vaxed, believe in my right to opt-out of paying for the adult consequences of non-vaxer's adult decisions. Would more people opt-in for getting vaxed if they knew they'd be paying the full-ride for the $20k+ Emergency Room hospital bill?

Well if we stop looking at it like its Everyone's responsibility to pay for everyone's health insurance, and make everyone responsible for themselves, then you'd have a little more consistency in your thought process
I got COVID fairly bad, I was borderline needing a hospital visit, but didn't need it. I didn't make that decision based on financials, but based on what the hospital would actually do for me. If I felt I needed medical assistance, I would have pursued it and expected to receive and pay my bill..
Where did the mentality of "nobody should die from disease and nobody should have to pay hospital bills" come from?? Your medical problems aren't my problems, so I shouldn't be paying for you and vice versa
