Those of you who dismiss (gạt bỏ, xua đuổi (ý nghĩ...)) as unwarranted the warnings issued by those of us who worry about government officials using fear of Covid as an occasion to seize dangerous powers (nắm giữ quyền lực nguy hiểm) might wish to read this piece by Scott Shackford. A slice:

L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez and Councilman Mitch O’Farrell have introduced a motion (sự vận động, chuyển động; bản kiến nghị) instructing the city attorney (luật sư) to draft (dự thảo) an ordinance  (sắc lệnh) requiring people in Los Angeles to provide proof of at least one vaccine dose in order to enter any indoor spaces “including but not limited to restaurants, bars, retail establishments, fitness centers, spas, and entertainment centers such as stadiums, concert venues, and movie theaters.”

There is no actual scientific or safety justification for such a demand. The motion itself notes that more than 70 percent of Los Angeles County residents over the age of 16 have gotten at least one vaccine dose. Hospitalizations and deaths in Los Angeles due to COVID-19 are indeed rising again, but they’re nowhere near where they were before vaccines became available. Hospitalizations won’t reach that spot again precisely because more than 70 percent of residents are at least partly vaccinated.
