We're seeing governments around the world try three approaches to forcibly encourage people to get vaccinated:
As thread starter I'm asking that there be no anti-vax postings or whining about government overreach and loss of freedoms in this thread. There are other thread where people can complain about the vaccines and governments taking away freedoms. This thread is about the comparing the 3 major approaches Western governments are taking to forcibly increase vaccination rates.
- Declaring vaccination compulsory. e.g. Austria is doing this, and saying anyone who doesn't comply will be fined ~$4000 USD every 3 months.
- Workplace mandates. e.g. Biden tried to do this with his order that federal contractors needed to be vaccinated (or tested extremely often). Companies would often fire non-compliant staff, although sometimes reassigning them to another position might be an option.
- Vaccine passports. e.g. Some countries have issued documentation to vaccinated people, and unvaccinated people who do not have that documentation are not allowed in public indoor areas.
