Authoritarian governments continue to take more extreme measures to force COVID-19 injections into their citizens.
While Dictator Joe placed a vaccine mandate on federal workers and businesses with 100+ employees, other governments have taken things to another level.
In Sindh, Pakistan’s second-largest province by population, the government will soon arrest unvaccinated individuals.
Anyone caught traveling on motorways unvaccinated gets imprisoned.
It’s a shocking move that seeks to completely ban those unvaccinated from society.
Here’s more:
In Pakistan, and likely coming soon to your safety-interested locale, “motorway travellers will be required to be vaccinated by September 20, 2021. When the deadline expires, unvaccinated travellers will be arrested and imprisoned.”
