Paying back the cost of COVID-19

I'm pretty ticked off that NI is going up in April.

I get that the cost of COVID-19 needs paying for but where I have followed government advice to the letter in regards to restrictions and social distancing. I got both jabs as soon as possible likewise with the booster. Then we have hundreds of thousands if not millions of people living in the UK who couldn't have given a hoot about what we were told to do or get vaccinated, they've done basically nothing to help the country get on top of the virus, how many deaths have been caused because of their refusal to follow instruction and to get jabbed, why aren't these people getting taxed extra to pay for it than those who have done everything they can to stop the spread of the virus and to save lives.

As a food-based retail worker, I've worked as normal throughout the pandemic, mask equipped working in a busy environment with the public in close proximity in order to feed the nation. Considering this and the previous, yeah I'm pretty annoyed that suddenly I'm having to contribute the same amount of those who didn't give a damn about other people. I was even hoping for some sort of reprieve, maybe that's a bit selfish to hope for that, as part of continuous work, but the main point of my post is that in my opinion those people who haven't had a vaccination (unless medically exempt) should be paying the cost back and not those who worked throughout the pandemic and followed everything the government told us to do and got our jabs ASAP.
