Officials in both the U.S. and the European Union are struggling with the same question. That is how to boost vaccination rates to the max and end a pandemic that has repeatedly thwarted efforts to control it.

Her hope is that the government mandates vaccination. “Otherwise, you drag all others back into danger,” Rutten said in a recent interview.

Despite apparently divergent strategies, officials in both the U.S. and the EU are struggling with the same question: how to boost vaccination rates to the max and end a pandemic that has repeatedly thwarted efforts to control it. But it’s harder for the EU writ large to impose vaccine mandates since health policies are the responsibility of the 27 national governments, and top EU officials walk on egg shells addressing the issue. Asked specifically by The Associated Press whether mandatory vaccination could be part of the solution, three EU commissioners swerved around the question, though none argued against it.

But while officials in Brussels can’t impose a mandate on the EU’s 450 million citizens, many national governments are ramping up restrictions for those who are not vaccinated. Some countries are, in fact, requiring vaccines for some groups: SloveniaMore common in the EU, however, is essentially requiring regular testing for those who aren’t vaccinated.

As a result, it has found other takers in the bloc. And on Thursday, Italy, which already required the pass for many activities, upped the ante. Premier Mario Draghi’s government said workers in both the public and private sectors will soon be forced to show one to go to work. Slovenia and Greece have adopted similar measures, but Italy is the first major European economy to require the COVID pass to access places of work across all sectors.

So they’ve finally proven vaccines make you immune? Otherwise how would vaccination rates end the pandemic?

Make a rule saying if you’re unvaccinated and you get sick and cannot take up a hospital bed. Deal with it at home since you’re so sure you don’t need the vaccine 🤡

Vaccines and lockdowns won’t stop it. It’s a new flu. It’s not going away. Deal with it

Very similar to the flu! A lot of people never get a flu shot either.

Lolz they fought nature and are surprised it's winning. You should feel guilty. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Sickness exists and you didn't stop it. /sarcasm

Sure read it easily...think about it for years though

Call it 'monocolonal' treatment, people refusing vax mostly can't spell anyways

Maybe they'll figure out the connection between more opening up and more cases. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Boosting vaccinations won't end the pandemic. The vaccines don't provide immunity and does not prevent the spread. Plus there are already new variants that will start the process all over again.

Everyone who's already had COVID has natural immunity. Forgot to mention that.

what’s happening in breakthrough infections of vaccinated people prove Covid-19 Pandemic is biological warfare & this virus is bioweapon virus which mean virus always change its characteristics & vaccines which was built on original version of virus may not cover new variants now

1) Offer free injections of cultured Covid virus billed as 'Freedom Shots'. 2) Wait. 3) Celebrate.

Stop trying to do the impossible… stop ruining people lives for your agenda…. I bet if you stop, the virus 🦠 will miraculously go away

The pandemic doesn't end since those vaccinated still can get sick and can infect other people. And that's why you don't see herd immunity anywhere.

the answer was, is, and will always be vaccine mandates, or, you know, years of massive outbreaks, either or

HOW, they don't stop infection or spread So sick of this sh*t

We must finally force the proverbial horse already at the trough to now drink. Haven't we had a bellyful of ignorance and denial? Let's move people forward, even if they don't want to go. Let's save lives in spite of those who seem to want to die. Let's make progress.

Had flu ever ended? We just need to live with it.

Ask Fauci...Fauci can fix it!!!

Too many fakenews have helped it to thwart the efforts by the governments.

Seat belts are mandatory. What’s the difference?
