If you follow France, Germany and Italy....lot of chatter over the past month about virus vaccination 'passports', and how the non-vaccinated will not be allowed the same privilege's as the vaccinated crowd (access to theaters, bars, pubs, nightclubs, restaurants, museums, soccer stadiums, etc).
So, my general observation and thoughts.
The people hyped up to make this all happen....are mostly politicians, virus experts and 'Doctor Dooms' who live in a 'bubble'. They spend six to twelve hours a day.....talking about Covid, and it's a major part of their existence now.
The chatter from the fall where they said 'herd immunity' could be achieved at 65-percent? In an amusing way.....it's fallen into a pit, and mostly forgotten by the news media.
The chatter that the authorities would not make a 'punishment' list (discussed frequently around December and January? It's fallen into a pit of memory loss, and not openly discussed by the news media.
As we move forward, what will generally happen as the non-vaccination crowd is dumped upon? About four months into this....the tax-revenue expert to the Finance Ministers of each country....will rush in and say that around 700-million Euro is 'missing'.
Naturally, this will freak out the Finance Minister. He'll ask how is this possible.
The tax-revenue guy will state the fact.....the non-vax crowd didn't spend money, and in some funny way....went on a economic boycott.
A week later, business lobbyists will ask for a meeting....they are missing several billion for the quarter.
Yes, in the middle of a recession, the government idea of punishing the non-vax crowd.....basically dumped the country deeper into a recession.
For about three additional months, governments will discuss this problem and admit they've screwed up.
As for the Germans? I expect the federal authorities out of Berlin to push a 'punishment' list. I expect the sixteen states of Germany to be in two groups....three or four would be pro-punishment....the majority anti-punishment.
The federal folks will say they have the 'power'.....the state authorities will say 'no'....ONLY they would have such power, and they won't agree with this.
In the end, I see three states going to a 'punishment' deal for the non-vax crowd, and it halts after a couple of months because of tax revenue issues or the federal court getting into this.
So all of this....really going back to the herd-immunity chatter and that was all fake in 2020? Yeah....more or less. We can laugh about the talk, and remember probably forty prominent German politicians actually saying this in public statements, and at least a hundred journalists/news people uttering the phrase.
Finally, to end this essay....the one politician who has openly said that 'punishments' for non-vax people isn't smart or wise? Chancellor Merkel.

Our politicians are increasing the pitch now calling the non-vax crowd “not smart” and they are sabotaging the economy LOL because of them there are still restrictions for various things, number of people in a store etc, the federal government has not yet mandated the green passport here yet, but i am sure they are contemplating it. As of today 80.9 % had 1 shot and 62% had 2 shots. All the talk shows and radio shows i hear in the car are beating the srumba to go and get the shot.
