I get my flu shot every year, and I don't even get a lollipop for my trouble.
Honesty, I've been vaxxed against things that you've probably never even heard of in order to get my visa, it's hardly the drama that you make it out to be.

Let's first establish that not everyone "vaccinated" against the new Coronavirus called for restrictions.
Ah but as a 2nd class citizen, I can't help myself to smirk a bit when I read stories like this:
(translated)
As a vaccinated person, I can currently go wherever I want. The digital proof of vaccination in my CovPass app opens all doors for me in connection with an identity card and rarely also a PCR test. I now had to experience firsthand what it feels like to have to stay outside.

It's the end of November 2021. 3G is the rule at work. Anyone who wants to go to the office has to be vaccinated, recovered or tested. The test must not be older than 24 hours, must not be taken at home and must be valid for the entire working day. For the first time since the introduction of the 3G regulation in the workplace, I'm on my way back to the office because I have an important appointment that has to take place on site. At the entrance I can already see several colleagues checking the vaccination certificate or the current test. No problem, I think to myself, pull out my smartphone, open the CovPass app and I am amazed to see the following picture:
(picture of empty corona app without proof of vaccination, who would have thought it could happen....)
No stored digital vaccination certificate. As a result, no access to the building at first. Fortunately, the next test opportunity is just around the corner. Here I have to test myself and wait for the result. Just as unvaccinated people who have not recovered have to do it. It took 30 minutes - longer than my way to the office. By the way, while waiting, I can think of something else. In the evening I'm invited to a small group event. I want to go there right after work. The prerequisite for this is 2G, i.e. only recovered or vaccinated guests. So without proof of vaccination I will not be admitted.

Suddenly, eyes wide open! Oh no! Now I have to face these restriction, but but I obeyed. THIS time, the person in question could/had to drive home to re-scan the QR code.
Saw things like this coming, like many others here too, as soon as we heard "vaccine passport". All these different devices where the passport is stored on, will wreck mayhem after all these updates, resets. People will be angry and call for something that relieves them of the burden, so it can never happen again.
But no worries, your government, too, is planning for the future. That's why, worldwide, on RFID passports there is enough room left to store more information. Praise the clairvoyance of politicians and governmental drones!
I let the reader decide what that could be.

I know, was the same for us. Could only buy in food stores, nothing more. No shoes, no clothes. 2G means either vaccinated or recovered, but recovered not longer than 6 months ago...
Some courts overthrew the 2G ruling though.
