The real question though is do policies like this affect change or do they only stoke animosity. This is a sincere question.
Do we know that the activities where vaccines are required are in fact hotspots? If you consider states that did full lockdowns compared to those that didn't but had mask mandates (California and New York vs texas Florida), there wasn't an appreciable difference in cases or deaths suggesting the mechanism of transition lied outside the reach of government. What's to say people still won't congregate elsewhere?
In turn, I'm not convinced this will incentivize people to vaccinate. My mother refuses to get the shot and digs in more against it as penalties show up. Sure this is and data, but I know that many, many people have left New York City due to what they considered draconian lockdowns and I suspect many more people might leave to "freer" pastures.
I'm not convinced this will achieve the intended objective, but instead far more animosity and pushback which is what you see in this thread which is far more tame than what the general population thinks.
Would love to hear a rebuttal.
