They'll first try the soft approach to get you to take it - scaring you, shaming you, guilt tripping you, telling you it's your patriotic duty to take it (never mind that the "patriotism" that gets thousands of soldiers killed every year, seems to benefit only the elite & never the common people).

They will also get religious leaders to "urge" you to take it.

We should be encouraging herd immunity. After lockdowns end, the virus is still around.

I'm pretty sure almost everyone will get Covid except for a few mountain hermits.

Oh the mandates are coming, you can bet on it. It's the slow boiling of the frog in water. They put the squeeze slowly so you don't notice until it's too late.

When the soft (manipulative) approach fails, meaning not enough people get it, then will come the mandates.

Oh for sure Linda, the psychological manipulation is well out there, and it's the people doing it to each other. I told someone in my work that I may decline the vaccine and she tried, but failed, to hide the contempt in her face.

I have to disagree Randall. That could kill my grandparents. The countries which took less measures in March are seeing a similar increase in cases to the rest of the world now. Although even Sweden did tell people to stay at home, socially distance, etc. They just didn't lock down. And they are still on a similar trajectory RE cases and deaths as the rest of the world.
