What other countries have had travel passes, permission papers, closed religious centres, restrictions on gatherings, "government assistance", shuttered small businesses, political/ social group witch hunts and limited access to goods and services?

Most.... Italy just went back into full lockdown again.

Can you show a link to that story? I would be interested in reading it.

If you are vaccinated, are you not protected from COVID? So, if you do not vaccinate, is it not the case that you only put yourself at risk?
Or are they thinking of forcing everyone to get vaccinated because there are people that cannot be vaccinated, and we need to eradicate COVID?
If COVID cannot be eradicated then how does forced vaccination help?

It doesn't help in preventing covid.

It's just a treatment to help prevent death.

If all the same precautions have to be taken after the shot there is no point in making it mandatory . Or make sense to have a vaccine pass card.

Our pm said not to worry about the vaccine and take the first available shot .some protection is better than none he says.

Some protection can also come from other ways not just the vaccine .

Sure, let's put a poorly tested chemical into our bodies, in particular the one that half of Europe is banning ... because our PM says so.
LOL.

I am waiting until I can get the vaccine made my Johnson & Johnson - this vaccine is made using a proven method - one that has been around a long time - you only need one shot and you don't get any bad reactions from it - also it doesn't need to be kept at severe low temperatures - when you get the other vaccines. you hope that they were handled correctly during the process of making them and delivering them otherwise you get a shot that is worthless -

I'd like to do the same Joe....see if I can wait it out long enough till they offer me a choice... J&J is the best one from my reading. I told my family Dr. my preference ....see if she can do anything for me.

I got my jab last night, the kind only for the 60-64 age group..... until today. Lol ... Arm is a little sore around the shot location, otherwise no other affects, yet.

Hope you don't turn 65 before the second shot. Those people may be in limbo.

From what I have read and from talking to people who got the shot - it is the second one that is the problem -
