Sometimes governments have you right where they want you.

In Brazil, the new left-wing president is now requiring the children of recipients of the Bolsa Familia welfare program to have been vaccinated.

Whether that requirement includes the Covid shots has not yet been made clear, but with the precedent established, this is a mere detail.

That’s a stark reminder that it’s terrible to be dependent on the state for pretty much anything. Because as time goes on, it is likely to make more and more intrusive demands on us in exchange for its aid.
