1. Government says we will not require proof of vaccination
2. Privately own businesses such as restaurants get shut down
3. Other Privately own business require proof of vaccination

Can any else see the total hypocrisy of this situation?

The government tells you that you won't need to show your papers.
But it's all good if the private entities under that government demand to see your papers.
Meanwhile the government shuts down businesses that don't comply with what it tells them to do.

"We won't demand your papers but they will"
"They're a private owned business they can do as they please"

This is just like Twitter being allowed to censor people on their platform. People support them and say "THEY"RE A PRIVATE OWNED BUSINESS THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT." no seriously they type it in all caps
Meanwhile restaurants are privately owned businesses and get shutdown for doing "whatever they want"

There is so much hypocrisy in this situation in my opinion.

ps. you political nut jobs didn't even make it past the first line and just started replying. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Wait wait wait. The guy who claims to be a conservative (which means he should like small government) is upset about private businesses asking for proof of vaccination. This is literally what someone in favor of small government should want; i.e. the government says they aren't going to force people to prove vaccination and are going to leave it up to the individual private businesses to operate however they want.

Your examples also aren't really that analogous because the government shutting down businesses during a live pandemic for safety reasons isn't really the same as the government looking at vaccine data and saying "we think we have enough people vaccinated, and enough data showing how effective the vaccines are, that we don't think we need to exercise our public health authority here and businesses can decide what they want to do within that context."
