Wild take. Not only completely untrue, but also very amusing in its implication that there is overlap between the people preferring a totalitarian Germany and the people who would want compulsory vaccination.

Well it seems neighboring Austria will fine unvaccinated residents[1], so it's definitely not a wild take. Second, totalitarian !== Nazi.

I mean, the vaccination measures now pile on top of the war on terror measures that a whole generation was already born, and normalized, to anyway.

So this trend into more authoritarian structures is very real in a very objective way.

And if everything keeps going as it does, there's a non zero probability this situation won't be of a temporary nature, just like there is a non zero probability that vaccines will need to be boosted/reapplied even more often.

Sum all of that up, and it's a quite dystopian scenario we are possibly heading into.
