Totally agree with this - there are many back doors to getting more uptake of the vaccine with both carrot and stick that have been trialled - recent policy by the Greek government is apparently yielding good dividends since announced. This separates the anti vaxxers from the 'I can't be too bothered' crew which I still believe heavily outweigh the former.The mandatory vaccines
it’s not very in line with a liberal democracy is it.
Personally i’d be up for a jab whenever, had 3 now the moment I was eligable and had a dose of Covid on top.
It’s fine making life awkward for people who don’t want take it, vac passports etc, maybe even hitting them financially, paying extra 10% income tax?
But mandating them with possible criminal charges is way way way too far for me.
Yeah. Very bold move.Interesting start for their new government.
A couple of things. The tweet I was referring to was nothing to do with mandatory vaccinations. The official Auschwitz Memorial Twitter page was making a point about all these clowns comparing mass Covid vaccination programmes to the Holocaust. Ironically, many of those anti-vaxxers who have made such comments also happen to be white supremacists who are anti-Semites and think this whole thing is a global conspiracy and the Jews are in on it.Well removing the rights of Jewish people is how it started.
Full Ostracision and Mandatory jabs is a very dark turn for state control as far as I'm concerned and should be resisted.
Enforcing the wearing of masks is one thing. Requiring vaccine passes to get into venues when hospitalisation figures are high is just about OK but Mandatory vaccination? Are you really OK with it? Where does it stop?
That's probably what normal Germans said when restrictions on Jews started.A couple of things. The tweet I was referring to was nothing to do with mandatory vaccinations.

Secondly, regarding mandatory vaccinations. I too am not overly keen on the idea, but the notion that it could lead to something similar to Nazi Germany is a huge stretch. That would surely only be the case if Angela Merkel is actually another Adolf Hitler. And I think we can safely say that she isn’t.
All the more reason for people to be vaccinated and receive their boosters in due course.Omicron has a "substantial" ability to evade immunity from a previous COVID infection, according to the first real-world study of the variant's effect.
The finding suggests the new variant could cause a substantial wave of infections, even in populations with high levels of antibodies.
It probably is because Hitler basically duped them (and much of the wider world too). I highly doubt that Merkel has designs on gassing millions of people to death though. I’d also say that while I don’t agree with it, this isn’t a decision that would’ve been taken lightly.That's probably what normal Germans said when restrictions on Jews started.
Antivaxers are loons and Antimaskers are total morons but where does this stop?
