This post overlaps things that are intellectually interesting and politically charged. Unfortunately it has been flagged because of the latter. We as a society should be concerned when the level of dehumanization on any front approaches that of the grievous past we should all be aware of
The funny thing in a lot of EU countries you can get a jab which doesn't give you the universal EU vaccine passport. If you got Sputnik or Sinopharm you are out of luck even though you are vaccinated
I notice that for people who are pro-vaccine, this “government authoritarianism” is not taken as, well, authoritarianism. It is rather perceived as the government caring for its people and adopting the necessary measures to control the situation. It’s interesting to see how different groups of society perceive the same issue from completely different angles.
While this is true, governments are massively over-stepping their authority. Also, trust in government in post-soviet countries isn't exactly high to begin with. It's one thing to require proof of vaccination for places like restaurants, another to require an electronic pass to buy essentials like groceries.
I assume you're actually referring to yourself with the above comments and not the person on Twitter. It boggles my mind how we aren't even 100 years away from a time where certain people were forced to wear the "Star of David" before those same people were murdered enmasse by the rest of society all the while feeling entirely morally justified in doing so because the government mandated it.
Now let's set aside the elephant in the room for a moment, where sane people realize the vaxxed should have nothing to fear from the unvaxxed if the miracle vaccines do indeed do what they say on the box, then all we're left with is a group of people, that includes yourself, who are seconds away from again morally justifying the mass murder of other citizens all the while feeling entirely morally justified in doing so because the government has again provided them with the necessary moral justification for those murders via government mandates.
And you think YOU are the good guy in this situation? I started this comment by quoting you, so I'll finish it the same way:

Missed the point entirely. This is about authorities controlling everything in your life. Happy reading.
