Vaccination policies are coercive when penalties are applied for non-vaccination.
Both mandatory and compulsory vaccination are examples of coercive policies but the two terms are often conflated.
Mandatory vaccination is the withholding of valuable social goods or services from people who choose not to vaccinate for non-medical reasons. For example the withholding of social benefits or rebates for childcare expenses.
Compulsory vaccination on the other hand refers to the criminalization of vaccine refusal.
In order to boost vaccine uptake, companies can be encouraged to make vaccination a condition of employment, and vaccination can be made a requirement for traveling (Vaccine passports).
Bars, restaurants, cinemas, sports venues, airlines, employers, and others can all make vaccination a condition of service, and anyone refusing vaccination will have their social lives and mobility completely stunted. A form of personal lockdown.
Regardless of how you call it, these tactics of restricting personal freedom to coerce people into getting vaccinated are blackmail, pure, and simple.
All of these policies violate the right to bodily autonomy and the right to voluntary consent and considering that Covid poses a minuscule risk to the vast majority of the population, the suspension of these rights cannot be justified.
Only in cases of extreme danger to public health, such as the bubonic plague or Ebola, could such rights justifiably be suspended.

You have the right to say “No” to the Covid vaccine!
An array of international human rights conventions enshrine the rights of the individual to life, liberty, and bodily integrity, and give the individual voluntary consent rights with regards to medical treatments.⬇️
1) Nuremberg Code:
The atrocities committed by German doctors during the IIWW resulted in the formulation of the Nuremberg Code, giving individuals the right to voluntary consent to medical treatments.
2) UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights.
Article 6.1: "Any preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free, and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information."
CommonPass is a digital ‘health passport’ initiative by the World Economic Forum and The Rockefeller Foundation, merging your health records with your ID document and seeking to make vaccination status a prerequisite for travel.
The very idea of a vaccine passport and the requirement of vaccination for traveling is a dangerous concept with chilling parallels to the late 1930s Germany and the branding of Jew with yellow star badges.
Like the badges for the Jews, the ‘Passport’ serves to divide people into two distinct groups; The vaccinated and the unvaccinated and mark the latter as outsiders. The non (science) believers and the ‘anti-vaxxers’.

Those wrong pretend to be right.
Those evil pretend to be good.
The morally corrupt pretend to be righteous.
The antichrists pretend to be Christian.
Those who cheat pretend to have won.
The real enemy pretends to be your friend.
Believe the opposite of what they say.
Trust the contrary.
Be critical of what you hear.
Inversion of truth.
Those who sell lies pretend to tell the truth.

First, it was:
-"Six-feet apart"
-"Rule of six"
-"Six-month COVID crackdown"
Ah, the classic board game of Rummikub. Nothing to see here.
