The regime's rationale in a nutshell

"All of you need to be 'vaccinated.'  All.  Well, unless you've just entered the U.S. by crossing our southern border, in which case we'll give you $450.000.

"Even those who've already had covid must take the vax, cuz we don't believe 'natural immunity' is protective against this particular viur.  Yes, that also includes your kids, if they're at least 5 years old.  Yes, we've heard that a few studies show young children have almost zero risk from covid, but we insist you kids take the vax anyway, because those studies weren't done by our CDC--which means they're probably not valid.  See, unlike you stupid deplorables, we elites went to top universities, so we 'listen to the science.'  And we're smarter than you.

"And you need to understand that we are absolutely NOT forcing ANYONE to take the 'vaccine.'  We're just going to use our power and authority to take everything away from you, one thing at a time, until you submit.  We'll start by ordering your employer to fire you if you don't submit.  

"But we insist that those of you who DON'T want to get this perfectly safe, totally effective vaccine must openly acknowledge that we are NOT forcing you to take it!  No no no no, citizen!  We're merely arranging conditions so you will voluntarily choose to submit.  There's a huge difference between what we've ordered and "forcing," and you must acknowledge that huge difference.

"We insist."
