[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anything, DC should get rid of the mask mandates and ramp up the vaccine mandates. I just experienced this in Switzerland and their vax passport system works really, really well for increasing vaccination rates.

If you know anything about Switzerland, they are probably more anti-centralized government than the US.[/quote]

This is false. I’m Swiss, grew up there, while family lives there, visit twice a year. The vaxx passport has been highly controversial, causing massive demonstrations and general discontent. The Bundesrat (Executive) is expected to revoke the passports this Wednesday. [/quote]

All the European vaccine passports have been controversial, with criticism from the right and the left. Americans tend to romanticize Europe on these issues. I do think Europe as a whole has struck a better balance around Covid than we have, but that is largely owing to healthcare infrastructure that I think has enabled them to keep the pandemic from being political along right/left lines. But mandates are controversial everywhere. If anything, Europeans are more sensitive to what feels like coercive government action than Americans, having experienced relatively recent examples of government overreach with terrible results.[/quote]
