Looking forward to the vaccinated only water fountains next. The US government has found the ultimate power grab that they can now use to control the population at their desire. This has never been about them caring about the health of their citizens (feel free to smoke and drink all you want). Those in power aren't even able to follow their ridiculous health standards they've created. One politician after another is spotted not wearing a mask, going to places they told us not to etc.. It's such a sad state we are in now and I fear we've gone too far to undo it.

> Looking forward to the vaccinated only water fountains next. This feels a touch melodramatic. I understand the point you want to make, but maybe a 1984 reference would work better. Vaccination is (barring some relatively uncommon exceptions) a choice, and not something that you have no control over.

  Okay, how about comparing it religions then? After all, you have the choice to convert to a different religion.

Or maybe the sad state is that there are still people dying every day from a pandemic THAT WE HAVE A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE VACCINE FOR.

How being vaccinated allow the government to control you? Are you implying there is a chip in the vaccine allowing them to control you? I’m half joking each time i see a comment like that I don’t understand what you think the government is trying to achieve by vaccinating you. The only evil thing I can think of is some politicians would make more money if more people get vaccinated because they own shares of the company producing the vaccine. But if that’s is the case nothing is stopping you to go ahead and also buy stock of pharma

  > Are you implying there is a chip in the vaccine allowing them to control you? This is a rather disingenuous comment. Since the fragile card stock vaccine record is not practical to carry everyday & everywhere, this will push people towards installing apps on their phones. This opens the door to digital tracking. Next, strictly speaking, having the app is not sufficient. You also need to show ID. Which ID? > “Identification” means an official document bearing the name of the individual and a photo or date of birth. Examples of acceptable identification include but are not limited to: driver’s license, non-driver government ID card, IDNYC, passport, and school ID card. Great. Now there is the problem of how to check these are not faked. Bars/restaurants have all sorts of methods and some of them actually involve scanning your identification[1]. Please add two and two together and recognize two-pronged approach to constant tracking of everyone's everyday activities. [1]: https://viage.com/ https://viage.com/

    Sadly the government already tracking you through credit-card, cell phone, face recognition and voice fingerprint. you just don’t know about it. The only difference is that we would force business owner to enforce the law.

      Does it mean that even more surveillance is a good thing?
