Since vaccinations have become available, I've always said if someone refuses a vaccination and gets ill from Covid, they should just be turned away from hospitals. Why should healthcare workers have to continually put their lives and those they love at risk for ignorant people who refuse to believe in Science and vaccinations?

I do like your "SOL" idea.
