The country is turning into a scary health-authoritarian state already in reality, not just warnings. According to the news today soon proof of vaccination will be required for all long-distance transport, air, trains and buses. Negative test would be accepted only for a limited time.
Is right to travel a life necessity and a citizen's right? Does perception and interpretation of public safety by anonymous bureaucrats, without any checks and recourse automatically tramp essential rights of citizens?
In Europe, in environments of presumed higher risk the rule of 3 is applied: proof of recovery, negative test, vaccination. No such nuances appear to exist (why? how was it explained and justified?) in this country. Someone somewhere just decided it, no explanations or reasons. Scary.
Will the courts be called at some points to decide on the limits of bureaucratic authority vs. essential citizen rights like freedom of movement? Or would they silently condone an emergence of a de-facto authoritarian state, indefinitely, under the pretext of safety? I cannot be sure, can you?
And as another interesting coincidence today, the guidelines for so called mRNA booster have been released, in recommended phases. How long was it from "recommendation" to "mandatory" last time? It's no longer speculation, it's here, arrived.
A country of mandated, every so many months RNA boosters, for observable perpetuity, or third rate status in a virtual ghetto with loss of employment and most citizen's rights - is it still only a scary story in the TV?
