And refusal to take a simple, safe vaccine is not in the slightest related to speaking up against Nazi attrocities.

You are missing the point. The point is if the 300,000+ unvaccinated decide to en masse go to jail our jail system is fucked. If they quit work, some of the industries (hello construction, nursing, police, teaching, and fire departments!) are fucked because the government cant import workers to replace them.
At the moment the country is 90% vaccinated. Expect this to drop to 70% next year.

90% would be very impressive, but it seems the % is closer to 70%. In any event, it is not a huge sacrifice to get a shot, so I have no sympathy with those who won't do it. If they lose their jobs, perhaps they weren't mentailly fit to be in them in the first place. Many jobs don't require mch personal contact with other people and thus should be more lenient regarding their vaccination policies. The higher percentage og vaccinated people supports those who are too precious to take the jab, as the general risk is reduced, no thanks to the selfish knuckle draggers who want "muh freedumb". People like this in the US shouldn't be coddled by other Americans. Civilization and society are founded on principles of civic duty, not "muh freedumbs".
