Canada

On the whole the convoy was fucking embarrassingly bad, but then again so was the whole idea of "vaccine passports." It was good to see people protesting it, horrifying to see how obnoxiously "conservative" most of them were. Shouts of "freedumb" everywhere, protesters thinking they were being rebellious when the cops were pretty much on their side, nobody around with the guts to call in the RCMP (there was a process for it. They could have done it) and get rid of the fucking trucks, bullshit half-baked misinterpreted pseudoscience on the TV, vilification of the idea of any dissent, carefully stage-managed presentation of the output of bureaucratic panic and confusion from the institutions of government, each side of the often stupid controversies absolutely refusing to listen to the other. Destroyed my faith in democracy, basically.

Not sure where I stand on the vaccine thing.

I fully support science and think vaccines should be mandatory, especially during a global pandemic that we haven't seen in a hundred years. Or, for example, measle vaccines before exposing yourself to others during a measles outbreak.

I'm also for body autonomy with abortion and what medical care and what vaccines you receive.

It cuts both ways.

In the end I think the failing here is education. Not enforcement. IMO most reasonable people would take the vaccine. The only reason reasonable people don't is because they do not trust government or science, due to lack of education or understanding.

You'll never convince some people that the government should have the power to force vaccines on people and they believe people should always retain bodily autonomy. So agree to disagree.
