Scrapped rules

The health risks associated with the height of the Covid-19 pandemic may have passed, but the state cannot adapt past rules it has previously established to the current situation. 

Above all, it cannot perpetuate the perception that any punitive measures are only on paper and anyone who is subjected to them just has to wait for them to be abolished. 

Scrapping the fines for unvaccinated citizens encourages this corrosive mentality.
