We are using the vaccine as a means of getting back to normal when the truth is, normal is gone. Living with Covid is the new normal.

They sound like Republicans trying to control people’s livelihoods. fukk both Dem’s & Repub’s

Right. Dying is totally different to spreading though. People may die but surely the reason for testing is to reduce and manage spread?
So how are we reducing spread with this policy?
I feel there must be an angle I am missing, but the more I try to reconcile this policy to facts, the more puzzled I am.
No, when you give politicians that much power then its a bigger problem. This is why people overseas is fighting over this issue. Both sides can go eat a dikk.
Vaccinated are less likely to spread according to most recent studies.
But it's also about the bottom line, unvaccinated are more likely to get sick, take time off work, and end up in the hospital (all costing the company money) than people who have been vaccinated. So obviously the company would want to have policies that encourage their employees to get vaccinated.
Right, but am I the only person who sees the policy of requiring PCR tests from the unvaccinated only counterintuitive?
It does nothing to protect from Covid. In fact it increases risk.
This is Italy right? I'm not even sure what "both sides" means in this instance. I plead ignorance on Italian politics.
As for the states they've always had the power to do what you're most worried about.

Jacobson vs Massachusetts
Facts of the case
A Massachusetts law allowed cities to require residents to be vaccinated against smallpox. Cambridge adopted such an ordinance, with some exceptions. Jacobson refused to comply with the requirement and was fined five dollars.
Question
Did the mandatory vaccination law violate Jacobson's Fourteenth Amendment right to liberty?
Conclusion
The Court held that the law was a legitimate exercise of the state's police power to protect the public health and safety of its citizens. Local boards of health determined when mandatory vaccinations were needed, thus making the requirement neither unreasonable nor arbitrarily imposed
