I find only sources in Bavaria. Like you said, 80+ and other stuff are open to get a 3rd shot. It's generally said that there should be at least 6 month between 2nd and 3rd shot.

So after 18 months of this you can’t forsee another variant that the vaccines don’t work well against (Vaccines are already less effective against Delta hence the calls for boosters and Israel rolling out 3rd shot) and we’re still going through lockdowns a year from now? You can’t see that possibility?

“If it arrives in Israel we will go into the lockdown that we are so much trying to avoid,” Asher Salmon, director of the International Relations Department at the Health Ministry, told the committee.

Salmon said that the vaccine Israel has been using as part of its national inoculation program is less effective against the variant than against its predecessors.

I don't mind all the silly dances before a global vaccine mandate. This is a giant cultural shift and it will be messy. But the more times we lock down, the more the will of antivaxers will be broken. Tons of them getting fired from jobs and stuff. Eventually they will bend the knee or else essentially be driven out of society financially or otherwise.

all the silly dances before a global vaccine mandate

But the WHO doesn't seem to think it is a particularly worrying strain.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. experts are expected to recommend COVID-19 vaccine boosters for all Americans, regardless of age, eight months after they received their second dose of the shot, to ensure lasting protection against the coronavirus as the delta variant spreads across the country.

Federal health officials have been actively looking at whether extra shots for the vaccinated would be needed as early as this fall, reviewing case numbers in the U.S. as well as the situation in other countries such as Israel, where preliminary studies suggest the vaccine’s protection against serious illness dropped among those vaccinated in January.

An announcement on the U.S. booster recommendation was expected as soon as this week, according to two people familiar with the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.

But the more times we lock down, the more the will of antivaxers will be broken. Tons of them getting fired from jobs and stuff. Eventually they will bend the knee or else essentially be driven out of society financially or otherwise.

When you say "vaccine resistant", does that mean vaccinated people get it and spread it or get actually sick? Like seriously hospital kind of sick?

At least half the population is gonna comply with both staying at home and the mask mandates anyway, right?

I don't think they would nearly have to go that far to get enough people signed up. For the most part so far if they just make it annoying and inconvenient for people (like extra waits for rapid tests), then vaccination rates go way up. The other way it is going up is when there is enough people dying and going to the hospital that people who rely on anecdotal evidence start to believe it is real because people they know are sick and dying. The second way is not ideal because has to be really bad already for it to work and then the catch up time is hard because the spread is so bad that measures maybe required just to get a reset.

You run into serious problems very quickly if you go to the length of revoking citizenship. It sounds good, but since the vaccine became first available there has been well-justified concern about whether the vaccine would be safe for people of color, because a ton of medical R&D just leaves them out of the picture. They have a right to be concerned about a vaccine developed by huge pharmaceutical companies in this country, and they'd be getting hit just the same as your genuine anti-vaxxer.
