While we can argue about what are the boundaries for human rights in 1st world countries, it's important to know there have been some very strict and harsh policies regarding Covid in different parts of the world.
In Quebec where I live, the unvaccinated are now barred from entry in large retail stores like Walmart and Costco. If you don't have your vaccine passport with you that shows you're vaccinated in these places, then you can't enter, even for groceries.
There was curfew in place that prevented everyone from being outside during the evenings and nights for the most part of January.
On top of that, the prime minister said publicly in the media that the unvaccinated would start paying an additional tax, even though health care is supposed to be free and accessible for everyone here. The government just backtracked about this the last couple of days.
A lot of these policies are extreme and have shown to be completely incoherent and not backed by science, given what we know about the virus since the last couple of months.
