It feels like it is. I'm torn on it. I don't like the removal of personal choice nor the potential for tracking.

I'm curious what the impact of anti-vaxxers is. I know they're more likely to catch and spread COVID, but can the constant low-grade COVID situation be blamed on them entirely or are they just exacerbating it and to what degree?

It really feels like we need to quantify that in order to make a call on how far we're willing to go to force compliance. If COVID would be largely gone without them, perhaps extreme measures are in order. If COVID is only 1% worse because of them, do we all want to make that sacrifice to force compliance?

The reality is likely somewhere in the middle and far more murky. I still think it's worth considering that there are a spectrum of options, and extraordinary measures should be justified by commensurate extraordinary circumstances.
