>>12468201If you are conspiratorially minded, then it makes a lot of sense. Brave new world and all that entails:
-Cashless society, all transactions digital and fully traceable
-All citizens tagged and registered in a governmental database
-Strict curfews and curtailing of basic freedoms, people can't gather in public or organise to protest against the ruling body
-Bread and circuses, mass consumption of entertainment media to keep people mollified and docile
-Constant news cycles to desensitize people and to prime them for whatever policy the ruling party want to enact
We've had so much damage economically at this point it seems like the great reset is going to be a real thing, UBI will be rolled out but only if you register and vaccinate, and you won't be able to travel anywhere without your vaccine passport which is something China does already.
Obviously that's a nice chunk of conspiracy theory sounding stuff, but I really doubt we are going to go back to "normal" even after the vaccines are rolled out.
