Man, this part is so fucked:
They REALLY want recognition that they saved the day by taking the counterproductive vaccine, just like in their capeshits, huh? It's interesting to see that incredible level of pettiness. What the hell is wrong with these bugmen? They're okay with dropping mandates, but they're willing to maintain them out of spite because they hate "rednecks" and the working class? It's especially crazy with all the mandates and restrictions getting lifted in many countries across Europe. Just let me live my fucking life. With no vaccine passport, I've effectively spent the last two years in house arrest.
I heard an interesting take the other day, about underlying motivations. For the anti-vaccine side of the debate, you've got people saying that others should not take the mRNA jabs because they might be dangerous, i.e. you shouldn't take that because I'M WORRIED THAT YOU MIGHT GET HURT. For the mandatory vaccine side of the debate, they're talking about how the unvaccinated are a danger because they might be more likely to spread it to others (which is false, esp. w/ Omicron), my vax doesn't work unless you take it too, i.e. you must take the vaccine because I'M WORRIED THAT I MIGHT GET HURT. It kind of turns the "selfish anti-vax" narrative on its head.
