Australia is the future of the Western world.
If that exists, it existed before COVID, and vaccinations against COVID certainly haven't changed that.

Are you referring to mandates? These have been a thing, in the U.S., for many decades
> exclude people from doing simple human things
Vaccine mandates have excluded people from things far more important than restaurants, such as education, for many decades. This is not new to COVID.
You seem to be arguing against a system that has existed for many, many years.
Even if they did, it’s pretty obvious that they have been dramatically increased in the last 18 months.
You seem extremely uninformed.
The only difference is there's a new vaccine that needs to be rolled out to everyone, as quickly as possible.
Most people get their mandatory vaccines as children, in a staggered way.
Because of the current situation, it's happening all at once, and the restrictions that enforce the vaccine are also being changed, based on the age of the people required to get the vaccine. What am I missing here?
If anything the restrictions people are putting in place to enforce the vaccine mandate have been less extreme. As workplace mandates get rolled out, this will become more even, as the right to work is comparable to the right to an education.
As I tried to communicate before, curtailing basic rights in order to enforce vaccinations for everyone is not new. The only difference is that these usually happen based on age, instead of happening to everyone, all at once.
"That was a relatively easy no for the court. In a 7-2 ruling in Jacobson vs. Massachusetts, it decided that jurisdictions do have the right to require people to get vaccinated. Back then, the government was much more forceful about it, knocking down people’s doors to get them vaccinated, the New York Times says."

Denying access to restaurants seems....timid? At least, in comparison.
I’m sure the argument falls apart in many other ways. You can probably find the counter arguments in the same Twitter thread where you found your talking points – just make sure to unhide the tweets containing them.
1. Is OSHA legal?
2. Is the mandate within OSHA's scope?
In terms of state level mandates, the Jacobson vs. Massachusetts ruling clearly applies.
Australia is taking it to the next level and using covid as an excuse. Do you believe that they will end their programs in 5 years when all of this is over?

Vaccine passports are starting to be required to go to concerts, grocery stores, ball games, etc. If you do not do what the state wants you to do you will become a second class citizen with restrictions. This is similar to the social credit system in China.

No one is restricted from education. You can go to a private school or get an exemption.
