  • Life happens you do not have to update me on your personal affairs. As the goverment shouldnt have keep tabs on your personal life.

    I would also expect some consistency on the subject of vaccines and ethics. I would be just as supporting of the vaccine mandates only if covid was bubonic plague level of damaging. Covid so far didnt disrupt the world that much due strictly to the illness itself. Thus what is the mass hysteria about when it comes to covid rather than a blatant power grab by those highest in goverment and in local power hierarchies. Some of these mayors really went overboard, far more inhumane then their policies spouted in public media. Leading to general distrust.

    The economic instability and the authoritarian edicts that were set up during the beginning of covid should not be forgotten. Closing churches while allowing riots and protests that were clearly biased.

    I'm asking as someone who is seeing his goverment creep closer and closer to the authoritarian line. In my opinion the line is where Australia currently is. Building quarantine "containment" zones for their own people. Disgusting.

    Dividing people based on vaccination status is reminiscent of stitching star of David's into everyones jacket. The people who dont vaccinate dont pose a threat to those who do vaccinate. People want to make that choice, especially when there are doubters of the methods. Which is completely allowed.

    Give it 20 years. Covid vaccinations could pass in public then. Rushing it and painting a happy face on the medical procedure doesnt mask how unsettling that is for people for a goverment to be pushing something that hard for something relatively "harmless" pandemic wise.
