For the record, the last sick day I took was in 2018. I had a kidney stone and missed 1.5 days of work.
I understand that according to Matt Walsh I should feel embarrassed about that, but at least he doesn't think it makes me demonic. Like he does when I play a video game.

You're a fool to not take them too. Have a few extra days with your family, a little vacation, do a project or get something done, so that you actually get a day of rest. That's not embarrassing, that's refusing to work for free, which is what you'd be doing in effect by not using that entitlement while others do.
The way things have gone during my lifetime, sick days have basically become extra vacation days. When I don't feel well, which is really a spectrum, I ask myself if it's one of the 10 worst days a year. If so, I don't go in. When you wfh, even germs aren't an issue.
Sick days normally aren’t paid out in any circumstance, at least in America. It is literally a “use it or lose it” type of situation.
Annual leave is the one that often gets paid out if you leave the company, barring any yearly cash out options that companies normally don’t do (often there is a use it or lose it clause if you go over a certain number of accumulated annual leave hours).

The embarrassment stems from most adults taking a sick day when they're hung over or overslept and it's too late to get to work on time.
Or as a vacation day. Oh you're sick the two days before your vacation starts? Huh.
Everybody knows what you're doing and that's embarrassing.
A sick day when you actually are sick or saw a doctor is the opposite of embarrassing, but odds are that's not why somebody is out.
Let's say everyone gets 10 paid sick days off

You get paid for unused sick days so you're not "working for free" you're just taking days off.
Using a paid sick day lowers your income by a day because you're not getting that sick day cashed out later.

What? You’re leaving enjoyment of life on the table is you don’t use it. You get paid those days wether you use it or not.
