I can't make sense of this. Is it simply government and pharma teaming up to grab as much money and power as possible before the show is over?
Covid is clearly coming to an end.
The UK and Ireland just lifted all restrictions. [0] [1]
The East Coast is over the hump. [2]
School kids are probably last on the long list of cohorts that should be getting a vaccine mandate. [3]
Further, the vaccine isn't sterilizing. It's 2 strains behind. How does this mandate parse with an open ended definition of "fully vaccinated"?

Covid sure as hell is NOT coming to an end. It is a novel virus that rapidly mutates and infects animal populations including pets. It will be coming back over and over again, just like the flu, but with a lot greater chance of flaring back up into a global pandemic and with much more likelihood of causing severely detrimental outcomes. We are NEVER going back to “November 2019 normal.” It is daft to think otherwise.

This is flat out absurd.
