In late July, Wisconsin told all public employees to wear masks during Zoom meetings. Please compromise your health for us while at home as an example to others. Not to be outdone, Arizona University will lock students out of online classes if they have not been tested for COVID.

University spokeswoman Kimberly Ott said about 25 students were notified early in the past week they wouldn’t have continued access to the online instruction system because they didn’t get tests or seek an exemption even after three email notifications and a phone call, the Arizona Daily Sun reported.
The system is used for all online materials, including the submission of assignments and exams.
According to the report, the sheep promptly got in line with this ridiculous mandate. And sheep will be sheep but think about that. Should we anticipate people losing access to a service they paid for if they refuse to get ‘The Vaccine™?’
I’m going to go with yes, and the potential scope of abuse here knows no limit.
What part of our lives is not subject to potential intimidation from activist groups and politicians? Few, if any. Your job, bank, credit card companies, Telecommunications, and Internet Service providers, Hosting Companie, Vaccine -cultists like Microsoft or any other software or cloud service you may access on some sort of paid plan.
I can see Facebook or Twitter demanding you submit proof of testing or vaccination, or they will deplatform you.
Everyone can be leveraged, and there are far too few among us that will step and say F**k Off! Even fewer Sheriffs or State’s Attorney General that will defend residents against such tactics.
With few exceptions, politicians have abandoned any notion that their power is limited by anything other than their imagination, so don’t expect much help from them.
That leaves us with the free market. Should such a tendency emerge, we will need to shift our dollars in large sums to providers and services that eschew such acts of tyranny. Let the invisible hand dope-slap the cultists.
Assuming the state doesn’t go after them for failing to fall in line with the virus-fascism.
