The writing was on the wall as soon as governments started normalizing vaccination passports. Governments and businesses can now take that same mentality forward for whatever type of shot they want. Meanwhile they continue to antagonize those who choose not to take these shots, employing the classic citizen vs citizen tactic from the playbook.
Another weird take on a government's rights to dictate who is allowed to enter and exit their own country.
Countries have always been able to impose vaccine requirements for smallpox polio, yellow fever, meningitis and now covid.
Businesses didn't need to validate that people coming into their stores had these vaccines because the government already would have validated it for them.
Businesses have the right to ensure the health of their employees and customers.
It's not the "take" that's weird, it's the situation. I said nothing about whether the government or businesses have the right or not. Just that since it has now started it is likely to be used further. That's not a weird take, it's just a fact proven by the current situation that previous poster was describing.
I've been entering businesses my entire life and until now I've never had to show private medical information about vaccinations in order to enter. Similarly, I've traveled through multiple countries in my life and until now I've never had to show private medical information about vaccinations in order to enter. What's weird is that now I can't go to a funeral without telling someone at the door about what shots I have.
It's also interesting that pointing out this very unusual state of affairs and its likely continuance results in a response suggesting that it's "weird" to even point it out, suggesting that it should not be pointed out, because who wants to be "weird" or say "weird" things. That's a type of antagonization.
