Europe has agreed to expire Covid-Green-Passes 9 months post second vaccination, requiring a third shot to keep the legal status of "fully vaccined".

@christian_zerfass On top of that, what was originally an emergency measure is now becoming policy: By coercion of the state, people who don't accept vaccination are excluded from society, and this is not a principle upon which a free country operates.A temporary usurpation of principle is not, itself, an emergency. But western centrist governments are showing a disturbing lack of principle, conviction, planning, communication and empathy. Simply put, this is not leadership.

@christian_zerfass My actual fear is that the next elections will be swept by extreme right candidates who tell a people simple and tempting narrative that the whole pandemic is just a conspiracy and all people have to do to end it is vote the bastards out.
