Don't forget Canada. Like good little sheep, Health Canada approved the same awful toddler shots as the FDA, and recently recommended boosters for kids all the way down to 5 years. At least one university is pushing ahead with a booster mandate for all of its students as well.

Also, our prime minister recently said aloud that if "80, 90%" of people get "up to date" then there will be "less need" for the kind of restrictions we had last year. AKA getting ready to haul out the big stick. And Canada STILL has not dropped its 14-day quarantine requirement on unvaccinated persons crossing the border, nor has it backed down on requiring all persons crossing the border to use a smartphone app to upload proof of vaccination upon penalty of thousands of dollars in fines plus the 14-day quarantine.

Don't you realize that the Science is different in Canada? You sound like one of those extremists who don’t believe in science, they’re often misogynists, also often racists....

Science in Germany is also quite different. Here the jabs are still safe and effective, even if taken every 3M. Masks are also super effective as well.

You're expected / required to get on a computer, get on a govt website, upload your proof of vaccination, your date to cross the border, etc. then get a printout of a QR code and bring that with you when you cross. Again, under penalty of $$$$ fines and possible quarantine order.

There have been stories of Canadians entering Canada without complying and not getting fined, but a lot depends on the particular border agent you get. Some won't push the matter. Some will get very aggressive. Some, in airports, will take your passport and hand it directly to a public health officer to all but force you to comply, a process which I've heard referred to as an "illegal referral" by some Twitter people but I've not seen a specific law cited to support that.

Also there are plenty of stories of Canadians getting their fines canceled by the courts, often without even having to go to court. Some provinces have no legal authority to enforce or collect the fines on behalf of federal public health so in those provinces it seems like it may be an easy out.
