Forced COVID Shots Take Center Stage Worldwide

Issues dealing with COVID-19 and the vaccines are occurring quickly. According to writings from the guest on this Crosstalk, France passed a measure for vaccine passes that must be shown to visit public venues. Italy has mandatory COVID vaccines for people over 50 with few exceptions. Austria is set to enact mandatory vaccinations on February 1 for anyone over 14. Those who refuse face a fine or jail time if unable to pay. Germany is soon voting on a near universal mandate. Greece has announced mandatory vaccines for all citizens over 60. It's also been reported in Quebec, Canada, that the premier has announced that his province will implement monetary penalties in the form of health contributions for unvaccinated citizens. Other steps are being taken in nations such as Australia, New Zealand and China.
