If we had governments that weren't entirely corrupt for money and power, your train of thinking would be entirely rational and perfect.

But there's substantial government interest in having things like medical passports/IDs that provide them with substantial power and bureaucratic expansion (and more importantly, a huge financial win for the medical-industrial complex)

Additionally, those vaccines served as an idealogical purge mechanism where people who were willing to go against the grain and not just follow orders were drummed out of the government.

Hard to believe that they're just going to give up on this because it's the right thing to do.
