Are you sure about that? At the moment in New Zealand vaccination isnt 'mandatory', but if you dont get vaccinated you cant go shopping, cant work, and basically cant go anywhere.
...but if you go to jail they cant vaccinate you because it is a violation of your human rights.
So...about those Nazis....

cant go shopping

Have groceries delivered

cant work

Do work or go to a job that doesn't require vaccination

and basically cant go anywhere.

You can drive to Middle Earth and go camping

What you cannot do is put others in danger by being around them. And refusal to take a simple, safe vaccine is not in the slightest related to speaking up against Nazi attrocities. This is absolutely a false equivalence. Now what if we could ship all of the anti-vaxxers to concentration camps. Then I would agree with the illogical image

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".
