From vaccination lotteries to now $4,000 fines for not getting vaccinated, I do not understand what the world governments are trying to do.
My concern is that compliance just emboldens these non-sensical policies further. This is because there are now dozens of regions in the world with insanely high vaccination rates and well, insanely high case counts. Even Los Angeles is scratching their heads as their highest vaccinated areas have the most cases.
The vaccines do not meaningfully prevent spread. Full stop. And I’ve never seen governments so concerned about the health of individuals in my entire life. Ban trans-fats, mandate universal fluoridation, whatever. But this wishful thinking, hoping that at some point the vaccines do something they clearly have no ability to do is just weird.
