So the idea is that the injected will freely spread their various viruses as per usual, the uninjected will be quarantined to protect the injected from viruses that the quarantined have immunity from and in which the viruses cannot replicate properly, and that social-cultural values can be taught to adults in civics courses?
Sounds like Sweden, actually.
Well, except from us completely lacking the ability to enforce house-arrests and quarantines even if the state would want to have them.
I see in local media that the EU is working to make any mention of populaton replacement theory illegal, that Germany is working to attack twitter/Musk under its "hate crime"-laws, and by way of induction that coming across the Mediterranean on a dinghy is the surest way to avoid Covid... since no such persons are tested, asked for vaccine-passes or quarantined, it stands to reason that illegally entering Europe means you are both immune to Covid and incapable of spreading it.
Maybe all unvaccinated austrians should go to Tunisia, hop on a raft to Lampedusa, and then claim asylum status?
Heh. It's probably nothing this time around, but it does show that calls for sweeping public health restrictions haven't died down completely, and my country has proven unusually receptive to them for a whole host of reasons I won't get into.
The province of Quebec in particular showed a disturbing enthusiasm for covid restrictions, untempered by any concern for ethics or even efficacy. The government had even considered the same kind of mass house arrest for the unvaccinated, but it seems that was a step too far for the police who happily enforced vaccine passports, bans on private gatherings, and an 8PM general curfew. After being the last to drop restrictions (we had masks on public transport well into June), the Quebec government has focused on culture war issues with the same energy, drawing heavy criticism from the rest of the country but bringing little attention to the true character of Quebec's war on covid. They got re-elected, too. With an increased majority.
I'm still shaken by everything that happened here. I don't know if things will ever be the way they were before.
Ha, Vienna continues to insist on FFP-2 masks on public transport. No evidence to support this policy exists, but facts and objective reality won't matter.
I'm very sorry about these absurdities. My only 'recommendation' is quite Nietzschean, though: if you didn't give in so far, there's no chance you'd do that in the future. Good for you!
Damn, that was such a dark time, and it was only a year ago! Well, we moved from the threat of detention camps, to potentially permanently changing the human genome forever or a world upturning wave of turbo cancers. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. But if you're going to be a critical thinker these days, you have to love the heat.
It still is a dark time: these 3G mandates (the Covid Passport) never went away in 'vulnerable' settings, i.e., if you want to visit, say, your parents in a care home, you'd need to show papers; same for health care workers, although staffing shortages are so severe, this will quite likely not be enforced.
Oh my, back then, I was just … well, 'healthy', I suppose.
Among the weirder things of this entire mess is, of course, the notion that natural immunity (as well as 'basis vaccination', i.e., the 2-dose original protocol) somehow 'expires' after 6 months. At least with these Covid Passports.
It's insane, esp. as we now know that these injections don't work 6 months out while, as far as we know, natural immunity does.
So, if we're to keep these patently stupid passports, they'd better be turned around.
Just anecdotal, but my natural immunity has been holding up 100% for over 20 months now. I know I can get the Omicold, technically, but so far I haven't.
Sure, also, there'd better be two general categories of 'recovered': those with natural immunity and those with the (fake) 'hybrid' version, i.e., the 'vaccinated' ones.
Of that latter category, one would need to further differentiate between infection + injection (in that order) vs. injection + infection; otherwise, there's no use in these categories.

And exactly one year later, calls to bring back masks (and eventually other measures, I'm sure) are picking up steam in Chinada. Coincidence?
Austrian legacy media announced today that the HPV vaccine will be available for free for everyone under age 21. Coincidence!

"...and recovered...?" You can drive a truck through that loophole.
I was recovered at the time, but that status was only valid for 6 months, and it was 8 months for me personally, so it didn't count.

If only we'd have a free press doing their job…
