All the schools here in Colorado are requiring it to enroll in classes next semester. Crazy to think access to higher education is going to be dependent on a mandatory medical procedure. Anyone who wants to compare this shot to other vaccines is just being silly at this point. Luckily I graduated last semester so dodged that bullet. The Mrs. is a Dr. who works around tons of people but has not been forced to take the shot yet either. Her work has offered "Free vaccinations", and the announcement they sent out for the event sounded more like they were telling people to get it and not asking, but she just denied it and has not heard anything since. Passports are for sure coming, that seems to obvious. I think international travel will also be off the board completely for the unvaccinated, as it already is in most countries. It will take time for the to tighten the noose but it is slowly tightening. The silver lining is, at least in my opinion, is if you can keep working to pull yourself out of the tangles of society, become more self sufficient, etc.,etc., then at a certain point there is really nothing they can take from you. I don't think this is going to come to a door-to-door campaign, I think this is more of a cast a wider and wider net to keep getting people to take the shot kind of strategy. If you can keep removing yourself and becoming more self reliant, building that community, finding like minded people, etc., then when the day comes that you have to show your papers to the scanner that opens the automatic doors to the grocery store to get in to buy food, you can still survive. Because that's ultimately what it's going to come to. First it will be travel, then school, then jobs, then x,y,z, till eventually you can't get food or water without having your passport. Don't panic but get prepared.
